Comment (by Ipstenu):

 I would be inclined to just make it stop working, commits or not. Maybe
 throw up a message for the committers "Your images are not loading because
 they are not located in the assets folder. Please review [link to post on
 make./plugins] for details." We have been pushing that for a while.

 But. A quick scan says around 16,500 plugins do this with screenshots
 (that includes some closed one) so maybe that's not a great idea.

 Could we put a block on svn uploads of those files to anything outside of
 assets?
