I prefer the complex approach allowing for simplification instead of simplifying it for everyone not allowing anything complex. The problem is that we've determined that approach does not work. The panoply of devices and platforms display broken code the more complex and customizable it gets. We've tried incremental simplification internally, and to have viable results it left us with few options. Next step would be to (re-)introduce basic image formatting. If sizing is not an option because of the mobile templates, then at least stuff like alignment. Why is it currently not possible to have portable info boxes with multiple images next to each other without using stuff like tabber etc. This is not likely to happen. Sizing is problematic, but multiple images next to each other is virtually impossible to read on mobile devices and give either justice. For what it's worth, this is an extremely uncommon use case; not only does it rarely occur on communities, but side-by-side images in the confined space of an infobox are off-putting on desktop as well. This is why the tabber / gallery solution for images was created.
