Comment (by joedolson):

 I think that what this needs for a user is to adjust the information in
 the insert image dropdown. There's no need to actually have the image or a
 symlink to it; it would be solved as easily if there was an option to
 insert that size that just inserted the other image.

 What would make sense to me is to show the custom image size in the
 dropdown. I assume that right now this only shows up as the 'full' size -
 and the problem with that is that everything has a full size, and it
 doesn't tell you anything about what size the image actually is.

 Where custom sizes can explicitly tell you what this image is, which is
 much more useful for the user.

 I don't think we should change anything about the image upload behavior,
 but I can see justification for a change to the UX.
