 The new big_image handling is done behind the scenes automagically which
 has a couple of downsides:

 1. If a user actually wants a huge image for some reason, they’re going to
 be confused about what’s happening.

 2. By fixing the issue for them with no communication, we’re missing out
 on the opportunity to better inform people about why they shouldn’t be
 uploading massive images to begin with.

 Proposal: Add a UI message to communicate “hey, we fixed this huge image
 for you. Here’s why [insert link to helpful article]”

 I would be happy to help contribute to such a document.

 The addition of the Alt text message in the UI is a great model for how
 such communication can help educate and inform site owners.
