Comment (by markoheijnen):

 I think for now this is plugin material. PHP 5.5 is just out so not a lot
 of people will benefit from this. It also can lead to misassumptions when
 people upload an .webp image and expect the ability to edit it or/and have
 a decent fallback.  So I do think better support for this format is key to
 implement this in WordPress.

 WordPress can't deliver this support since loading javascript to have
 better support for .webp isn't a solution for core. Also something what
 the FaceBook engineer mentioned in the FireFox ticket was serving .jpg
 instead of .webp when the browser doesn't support it. This also wouldn't
 work well when you cache pages. So this seems server configuration.

 I do want to point out that I don't think wycks is rude here. I think the
 priority is minor since the adoption isn't good enough for now and it can
 take a while to get there. And this discussion is needed. Even with people
 that can't commit.
