Comment (by spacedmonkey):

 All I am saying is, I did not expect a file to be converted from one type
 to another when I started reviewing this ticket. Allowing WordPress to
 upload WEBP ( and it generate correct metadata / sub sizes ) is one task,
 and changing all sub-sizes to webp is another. Personally, I think these
 two tickets.

 For what is worth, I am all for using webp for sub sizes, but I am just
 worried that change this bahaviour could be considered as a breaking
 changing. If we change this bahaviour and be bold, I would strongly
 recommand some easy way of changing it back to the old ( current )
 bahaviour. Maybe a filter.

 I did a lot of testing last night with different webp and this worked
 great, can't wait for this to be in.
