 things. So removing them now...

 Uh, sorry, seems I didn't explain it well and you misunderstood :)

 I'm not proposing to remove the image sizes. They are needed to be able to
 create proper srcset. In fact I think we would need to add another, larger
 size.

 What I'm proposing is to remove the settings for the `medium` and `large`
 sizes from the "Settings => Media" screen as changing them "by hand"
 doesn't make sense any more. In fact there is already another default
 size: `medium_large`, 768px width, that is not shown there :)

 Of course themes and plugins will still be able to change these sizes (for
 now), although that doesn't make much sense either.
