 >The problem with that is that people will break stuff faster.

 Sorry, but if people "break" something, that's their own problem. There is
 no warranty, expressed or implied, when you utilize the available hooks
 that WordPress provides.

 >I was thinking if we can make if safer and easier. They can pass the url
 and then call getimagesize() on it so you can retrieve the width/height.

 The problem with this approach, is that some servers do not allow calling
 getimagesize on a remote image. What if somebody wants to use a remote
 image, such as a YouTube thumb, and they already know the dimensions. They
 can then pass the known dimensions into the filter.

 >I also not sure if we should apply the filter on the result of
 image_downsize().

 I would expect the filter to be applied to whatever result the function
 produces.
