 look at this soon, in the context of:

 displayed at that size

 The current trend of having large images on websites and the growing
 mobile usage are against each other for sure. We need an elegant way to
 handle responsive image loading. But what I'm not sure is whether a theme
 should handle responsive image loading or leave it to plugins or even the
 core. What's your opinion on this?

 > 2. Design: is the wider image essential to the design? (Takashi argues
 "yes" in this ticket)

 Yes, it is absolutely essential for the full-width layout in my opinion.
 It just looks bad and because of the feeling of "missing", it could look
 like a bug in a way. If the theme doesn't let users upload full-width
 featured images, it's better to remove the full-width layout option.
