Note that it is the tmux maintainer, not the libsixel maintainer, who is saying no. He won't even add support if someone else provides the patch, unless the patch is small. Why? Because:

Really? I wonder how the *nix environment would look like today if the tools (gnu, et al) only worked with the workflows that their original creators envisioned. In fact, just recently I had to SSH into a remote server and find a particular image. The filenames are random strings, and the timestamps were useless as the files were recently copied from an archive drive without the `-a` flag. Having image support in the terminal would have saved me enough time to pick up my little one from kindergarten myself instead of having to send someone else to pick him up for me.
