Rendo is REALLY shooting themselves in the foot with this, since the gallery is used to showcase and advertise products, including WIPs and promos not found on the product page.
Methinks this is going to drive some vendors away-- probably not any of the main/top ones, but plenty of others. Some left during the last site design.
I know I've said "what was Rendo thinking?!" before, but this really takes the cake.
