The issue with that is that developers would have to create ANOTHER image for their tiles. Its a lot of work. You already currently need 9 if you have a special image for a live tile.

This.
Instead of 3*2 tile, I'd rather go for an extra column of small tiles, so 5 small columns or 2 normal + 1 small or 1 wide + 1 small.

It's optional, like the wide tile we have now - not every app supports it, so it sound like a good idea. Although I would really love a vertical wide tile. The developers would be able to choose supported formats.

I used to think this, but MS could make it possible to choose "unusual" sizes only for iconic tiles. In that case, developers would continue to provide just the medium and small icons along with the three lines of text. MS would handle layout. The same idea wouldn't work for Flip and Cycle tiles and MS might not want to introduce the inconsistency of some tiles being fully adjustable while others have just three sizes.

will, technically, not A LOT OF WORK, just adding one more "selection" to array, and then if they want to have flip-able tile with lots of image like photo hub tile, you can just set width and height and do ..... yeah that is lot of work......
