Comment (by vanyukov):
It looks like the majority of concerns about this feature are that either:
a) users are not able to understand where the full sized image is and how
to use it on the front-end
b) users not able to understand why the space is eaten up by original
images and how to disable those
In my opinion, the first issue (a) is easily resolvable with some UI
adjustments:
1. a dismissible notice in the media library regarding the new feature for
all new installs/upgrades
2. a general notice (either in media library or the Settings - Media
page), maybe with some link to wp.org?
The second issue (b) is more complex. At the moment, it's not really clear
how this feature will be used later on. If this is just a way to optimise
uploaded images - users should have an easy option to opt-out from keeping
the originals. But because this is hidden away in a filter, it seems that
there are bigger plans for the use of this feature by WordPress core at
some point later on. Will removing the original have some side effects for
the users in the future? I'm guessing this is an interesting topic for all
the developers of image optimization plugins out there
