Comment (by jb510):

 I was about to post this on #45406 before finding this trac ticket.

 I followed this on GH and also think this is critically important. I think
 that the path being pursued is the right one (correct srcset support
 within GB/Themes).

 However, I too have always wished that the 'full' image size was a
 compressed version of the original, not the original itself.  Too often
 the 'original' is poorly optimized and should never be loaded on the front
 end.
