Maybe we should make it easier to include external

No one's infringing, I don't think, especially if we
say that all externally linked images must be under
fair use. Externally linked images would also decrease
the server load.
We used to allow these, but got rid of them
after a rash of links to <goatse.cx>.
That they could change without any sign on Wikipedia
(that is, no detection by Recentchanges or a Watchlist)
was also a motivating factor.
