Comment (by DH-Shredder):

 We met about this at WCSF -- a few notes on decisions and reasons from our
 discussions:

 - We'll focus on WP_Image_Editor, and leave WP_Image for later, unless it
 turns out that it's significantly easier to abstract GD while using it.
 - We also need a batch resizer method, to aid with thumbnail generation
 - We'll work initially on [https://github.com/markoheijnen/WP_Image
 Marko's GitHub account], with a first draft of abstract classes to be
 posted on the ticket before this Wednesday's dev chat for discussion.
 - Initially, Editor classes will be chosen by rough order rather than by
 function (i.e. resize/crop/rotate), and we're still working out how this
 could be done elegantly.  Suggestions welcome.
 - It will likely be the case that any existing public/API functions that
 are accepting or returning GD images in memory will need to be deprecated,
 as to avoid breaking current plugins.  In theses cases, we'll call the new
 Class's methods instead.
