Comment (by mikeschroder):

 To me, it's pretty clear that user expectation < 4.4 is that the image a
 user supplies in `src` is the image that will be delivered.

 I don't feel that it respects user content at this point to do otherwise
 -- especially when we're talking about intentionally serving up lower
 fidelity images that are creating user complaints already.

 My opinion is to go ahead and add `src` to `srcset` in all cases for
 4.4.1, then talk about a smarter solution we can include with 4.5,
 including some of the options given with a larger size. Especially with a
 minor release, we should be extra careful not to break the covenant of
 user content.
