Comment (by joyously):

 > All current sizes will still be created and be available for the user to
 choose. This ticket is about reducing pointless options (clutter) on the
 Settings => Media screen.

 The options are not pointless. They let the user choose what size the
 medium and large is. And then themes like mine use those numbers to set
 the content_width, which drives the rest of the `srcset` calculations.

 > When using `srcset` the image size that is selected by the user does not
 matter.

 Ah, but that is only if nothing is filtering out the `srcset`. It is
 optional, you know. And themes do change what is output, including
 removing it completely. And you are talking about the user choosing a size
 for an image in a post. But there are lots of other places where those
 sizes can be used, and the user should still be able to set them, as they
 can now.
