Comment:

 Hi @dfcowell, thanks for your work here. I unfortunately disagree with
 adding this as a feature.

 In my own web surfing, I appreciate links on images that go directly to
 the fullsize (canonical?) file. If authors linked to an intermediary
 filesize, I probably wouldn't even notice in the URL, and assume that was
 the full filesize.

 WordPress also embraces a philosophy of
 [http://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/ Decisions, not Options], and that
 can be applied literally here: let's not clutter UIs with options that few
 users will use, and for many will confuse.
