With $wgLogos storing a binary encoded representation in this file means the majority of this file is hexidecimal values rather than the human-readable content that the settings of the site is supposed to represent. Are we going to be putting ALL images in this file going forward now? Why it wrong with linking the logo to a file containing the logo?

Hey there, I don't understand. There shouldn't be a binary representation in the file, it's an array of links as documented. Why do you think it's a binary representation?
