It's mainly about this ambiguous situation in the manual of Emacs.

As far as I can tell, there will likely be a strong recommendation of
tumme aka thumbnails aka dired-image (or whatever 8-)) in the manual.
And thumbs will remain as an option for people who long for the
freedom of looking for alternatives.  (At least for the viewing part
of tumme, less so for the image managing part.)
