Comment (by mikeschroder):

 Just to give a quick opinion: I think we should store the original in all
 cases, and default to that behavior to help users generate larger sizes,
 if/when they need them, in the future.

 This would also allow WordPress to create these larger (or other dynamic
 sizes) for users' sites in high quality when as WordPress gets better at
 handling images. It's never a good idea to resize from an already resized
 image when it's possible to work from the original.

 I think a filter to disable that behavior makes sense, but an additional
 option for the admin (decisions, not options) isn't necessary here.
