Comment (by mikeschroder):

 Replying to [comment:16 joemcgill]:
 > Per this [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/feature-
 respimg/p1450470683000879 Slack conversation], @mikeschroder suggested
 that we only include this improved source selection algorithm in 4.5 and
 not in 4.4.1 <snip>

 I'm open to being convinced otherwise, but it's my current view that if
 there is ''any'' chance that a change introduced here could start
 including incorrect images, we wait for that change until 4.5 to allow
 testing time. I'd much rather be cautious about user content for a minor
 release. My understanding is that the worst case for the scope of this
 ticket is that users encounter the same behavior as in 4.3.
