 define a post type to an image size.

 I will disagree with that.  Our team has implemented what is effectively a
 `register_image_type()` function and it is both solving a very real need
 and working extremely well for us.

 There are many cases in plugins you need to be limit based on image type
 or to validate on image type. If I need to give a user the ability to
 upload an image for a custom post types, let's say for a "Case Study" I
 would like to be able to limit them to cropping to aspect ratios that are
 appropriate for the ''"case study featured image"'', for example.

 This requirement is pervasive in the work we are doing for our main
 clients.  We have it built it to our plugins but we'd far prefer to see
 that requirement handled by an API in core, and I'm confident that core
 would find many uses for leveraging it over coming releases.

 > The problem is that everything is getting created on the fly. And we
 should find a way to do that. See #15311

 Yes, I can see that as another issue too ''(one our team has also
 implemented)'', but it's a requirement that is orthogonal to image types.
