So, are you saying your images have opacity values other than 0% and 100%? Then yeah, there would be an issue with converting to GIFs. As for the list, it depends on what kind of list you use. I believe (not 100% sure) that the image has to be displayed on a page to be counted as used. Also, even if it is listed as used, the list of where it is used will be inaccurate. Furthermore, when anons attempt to access the file page, they are redirected to where the image is used. In this case, they will get redirected to your maintenance list rather than the page were the image is used as content. But if you are fine with all of that, then go ahead and hotlink the images. - Edit:

What you could do is hotlink images via a template and have that template add pages to a special category indicating that they use hotlinked images.
