 In https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35725 we added core support for
 the WebP image format. On the ticket, discussed studying the best
 compression level ("quality) setting to use for WebP images
 ([https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35725#comment:152 ref],

 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35725#comment:101 ref). In the end
 we decided to use the same default quality as JPEG images use for our
 initial pass.

 However, given the differences between the formats (and in anticipation of
 even newer formats), we should consider what the best default quality
 setting would be for WebP images.

 Some details on how we can test compression settings and arrive at an
 ideal level is outliner in
