The reason I suggested this is not necessarily volume, but ease - if you limit
images to top-level parts, all you need to do is when a part is uploaded, go
through your dependency list, and re-image all top-level (non sub-) parts that
use it. Removes the need to do anything with "make".

I would think the same thing applies here - if a required file needs
certification, it'll need to be downloaded anyway. It should only have an image
if it's a part in itself. Same with related files.
I think maybe I'd rather see a 3rd list against each part - "top-level parts
using this part" or something, that includes *official* parts as well. I
realise this would be a long list for many primitives, maybe put it on a
separte page.
I mean, how I generally review is I pick a (top-level) part, download it & all
it's required files, and look at them all at once. When I post my review for
sub parts & primitives, I go to look for other parts that use them (via related
files), but still generally only look at top-level parts.
Of course, it's a bit different when there's a pile of primitives need review
all at once 8?) but you still need to check the new primitives in conjunction
with existing parts that use them, anyway.
