I don't have a firm opinion on this. For maintenance it might be  
easier to put images where they are used, ie in the page where they  
are used. Now if you're talking about an image that is used  
everywhere then yes it makes sense to have it only in one place (like  
we do for the logo of the skin for example). I think it's on a case  
by case basis.
