Comment:

 On 3.4 launch day there was some discussion
 [https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 dev&day=2012-06-13&sort=asc#m407148 in IRC] about how adding the first set
 of retina graphics and screenshots added significant size to the
 !WordPress footprint (from 3.8 to 4.8 mb or something).

 Jane said it best:

 > `Jane__`: it's kind of lame that such a small percentage of users causes
 such a big file size increase

 Do we have other options like remote-linking images or maybe doing a
 retina graphics pack plugin that would have less of an impact on the users
 who won't use/need these bigger graphics?
