 Replying to [comment:5 jane]:
 > If the action is not consistent between browsers, I'm uncomfortable with
 making any statement about what's happening, unless we're sniffing and
 showing specific message (which seems excessive for something people may
 or may not even want to use. Wondering if we should pull the auto-scale
 out altogether and make it a plugin.

 On the one hand, I see this as very valid functionality. I re-scaled
 images on a newspaper website the other week for 2 years worth of uploads
 and dropped the filesizes by 75 percent.

 On the other hand, since it's not consistent cross-browser, I do see the
 value in browser sniffing to display or not display, but I agree that it
 seems a bit "excessive" for something to include in core. Maybe pushing
 out to a separate plugin would be a good idea.
