 Aaaah, I see. It would need to know about the flag even before we want to
 do anything with it, because it would appear in the consensus. In this
 case it would not be a good idea to have this as an automatic
 serialization/deserialization.

 If something else starts using the images then we can think about this
 again, but for now we should not include the enum.
