Comment (by chrisvanpatten):

 I'm finding it difficult to articulate my exact thoughts, but I am
 increasingly concerned about these changes drifting further and further
 from the original construction of the feature as we get so late into the
 RC cycle.

 Further, I think it's important to clarify that the "implied contract" is
 not only implied, it is ''assumed'', and could be argued that this has
 always been a case of "doing it wrong". While I'm sympathetic to the
 problems with page builders and third party plugins, I'd actually argue
 that as image management and subsize generation gets more complex, there
 is a clear case to firmly break from this implied contract, and reinforce
 that WordPress should be fully trusted to handle filenames, and that third
 party plugins should stop assuming that image URLs are a constant.
