 > Much of this was required because WPCOM behaves differently than
 everywhere else

 Yes, the media on WP.com is handled in a quite different way. For example,
 afaik, there is no `sizes` array in the image meta, and image sub-sizes
 are created "on the fly" when needed and then cached for some time. If a
 convenience function for WP.com is needed, perhaps a better option would
 be to request it there.

 Looking at the example use, it is for outputting a thumbnail image as data
 URL. Not sure if this is a common case to the extend that it would need a
 separate "convenience function", i.e. how many plugins would need that.
 But lets try to figure this out in 6.3.
