Comment:

 The current way that attachments are duplicated can result in some strange
 experiences for users, especially if the cropped images are significantly
 cropped, but then appear to be the originls in the media library and
 accidentally get inserted into posts or elsewhere, or reused with other
 themes (especially an issue with Twenty Fifteen's portrait featured
 images).

 However, we still need a patch here, and at least some movement on
 dependency tickets, to work out a solution.
