New Album Feature Seems Useless

I posted a thread in the general section showing off my new shotgun.

It really was something better suited for a picture album post, but when I looked at the new feature in the User CP I noticed a few unfortunate things:

1) 78k and 600x800 pic size auto-enforced
2) 25 picture limit

Now both of the above seem reasonable given the fact that space is limited. Although, 25 pics makes for a rather meager album collection.

What made no sense at all to me, is that for those of us who fund our own URL-based storage, there is no option to simply link to a URL to display a picture in the album.

I got a bunch of MoBo screen prints I could link to, hobby photos and so forth all located at my own URL and I can't point to em.
