 Replying to [comment:4 birgire]:

 We can increase that :)

 Also been thinking if we would need 2x `medium_large` size. That'd be
 1536px (can round it up to 1600px?). This will be used for the 2x (retina)
 images in post_content, as the main column in pretty much all themes is
 not wider than 768px (800px).

 Adding these two new sizes will significantly improve the selection of
 image sizes, so the browsers will be able to pick a better match from the
 `srcset` attribute when displaying images on the front-end. However it
 will also bump up the processing time/resource usage on the server when
 creating the image sub-sizes after uploading an image.

 This may cause more timeout errors on some shared hosting accounts.
 Ideally we should have a way of regenerating missing image sizes after an
 image is uploaded. That depends on #40439 and #43525 being done.
