 > Some servers have buggy and unusable Imagick installed

 Could you provide some information here? Rather than patching the symptom
 we'd rather target the actual problem — that is, we may not be detecting a
 "buggy and unusable" version of Imagick.

 It shouldn't be necessary for the user to even think about how their
 images are getting resized and manipulated. We try to ensure we are
 working with a good version of Imagick — we require 2.2.0+, for example.

 This is already feasible via the wp_image_editors filter, as in a plugin
 can serve this role. I don't think it is worth adding a constant, unless
 we really can't solve for buggy setups.
