I can agree with that and I think that the effort should be on tiff2pdf.

As they are now, neither ImageMagick nor GraphicsMagick are a match for the
functionality of tiff2pdf. Having easy control over the image position on
the page (i.e. page size and horizontal and vertical offsets) and
Distiller-like capabilities, such as inclusion of notes, bookmarks, and
metadata in general, on the fly are essential for my kind of work. Speed is
also important when processing thousands of pages.
