Comment (by DH-Shredder):

 The major decisions regarding workflow got summarized on the day of (check
 it out [comment:32 above]).

 As far as that decision, specifically -- we'd talked about that we'd
 really like to do A) but had not settled on a best approach.

 From the comment: "Initially, Editor classes will be chosen by rough order
 rather than by function (i.e. resize/crop/rotate), and we're still working
 out how this could be done elegantly. Suggestions welcome."

 As scribu mentioned in [https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel
 =wordpress-dev&day=2012-08-10&sort=asc#m435921 wp-dev chat], the problem
 with that is with starting operations with a rotate in jpegtran or
 ImagicK, then batch thumbnailing with 'convert'.

 This is most difficult when switching between GD and other Editor classes,
 since GD holds its images in RAM.
