It's less for to download gimp and install it to edit xcf, than open png 
in photoshop and redo the layers.

Of course, when there are no layers or alike, the png can be seen as 
being it's own source. The notion of source is irrelevant when it come 
to pixel-level work :) I don't want to see a svn full of pointless 
sourcefile that are just another encoding of png (no layers)
