Comment (by litemotiv):

 A problem for many sites lies in the fact that previously images in rows
 of columns automatically got the same height:

 [5.4]

 The new forced width and height attributes then stretch an image without
 height:auto in the css:

 [5.5]

 Adding height:auto does fix the stretching, but it also causes all images
 to get different heights, making it impossible to create grids/rows of
 images with aligning heights:

 [5.5 with height:auto]

 So what would be the solution to restore that behavior?
