Comment:

 I think it's important to do this with the initial release of the theme,
 as the difference is pretty striking and users will be cropping and
 otherwise adjusting their media choices to best complement the area and
 suddenly changing that in the future would be jarring.

 `object-fit` for IE appears to require a polyfill. It's currently a fairly
 high priority task in the queue for Edge, but of course it also affects
 older IE (as well as some other browsers, though none of them really
 concern me). What if we switch to `object-fit` and then use the current
 method as an IE fallback for 4.7, improving it for those browsers in the
 (near) future? What does this look like with `object-fit` in various IEs?
