Comment (by micasuh):

 With Firefox 65's WebP support and Edge adopting Chromium and Blink, the
 end of 2019 could be close to 80% WebP support unless Webkit surprises us.
 Browsers that don't support WebP will be outliers.

 @blobfolio's patches (which I assume can easily be updated again) and
 @desrosj's work on <picture> would give WP devs an excellent avenue use
 WebP in production today and help reduce load times in non-trivial ways.

 I think 2019 is the right time for this to move to core.
