 Thanks for the patch!

 Been meaning to comment here too. After #40439 and #47872 there shouldn't
 be any technical problems adding more default image sizes (before them any
 new size would increase the chance of the upload failing).

 In that terms thinking it may need two new sizes: one that is 2x "large",
 2048px max-width or max-height, and another that is 2x "medium-large",
 1536px max-width or max-height. Or perhaps it makes sense to do 1600 and
 2000? Thinking best to defer to @joemcgill here as he has a lot more
 experience :)

 In any case the new sizes should not be "user settable" from the UI just
 like the "medium-large" size. They should be "changeable" only from themes
 and plugins (although best to not change them, they will be needed for
 better support for the srcset attribute).

 I'm actually thinking we should remove the image size UI completely and
 replace it with "Add a custom image size (but only if you really know what
 you're doing)" in new WP installs. But lets take it one step at a time.

 Also related #47873.
