 I'm using `image_get_intermediate_size` to get a suitable small image for
 use in a tiled gallery. Sometimes, dimensions for these are quite tiny (<
 150 pixels on one dimension). While `image_get_intermediate_size` normally
 doesn't return image sizes with variant aspect ratios, these checks are
 ignored for the `thumbnail` size (default: 150 x 150 pixels, hard
 cropped).

 While the recent commit resulting from #34124 will allow us to override
 this behavior ex post via filter, this won't be an efficient solution. I
 therefore propose to either remove the `thumbnail` check completely or add
 a new parameter (or filter, but I think that could be overkill) to
 override the check.

 I'm not sure why @markjaquith implemented things this way in [13145], but
 I assume changing them completely will break something somewhere, so the
 new parameter might be the better solution for backwards compatibility.
