I don't know why they added this and the other image packages specifically, but I used this the other day and it was nice to not have to bring in a separate package.
Now it's really confusing to have to figure out to import stdlib image for jpeg, but x/image for bmp.
For bonus points, check out "image/draw" vs "golang.org/x/image/draw".
