Comment (by eatingrules):

 @adamsilverstein The fundamental issue here is that **the vast majority of
 users will have absolutely no idea all of this is happening, but the
 proposed workarounds to avoid/solve issues keep putting the onus on
 users.**

 Most end users probably don't even know these forums exist, let alone
 visit them. I'm sure only a miniscule fraction even read the big release
 notes on the Core "About" page after an update. Most of our users
 completely ignore dashboard notices, too...

 So if this feature gets released in 6.1, I'd wager that ~99% of users
 won't ever realize it...and they certainly won't understand that, sometime
 down the road, they are going to blow up their storage when thumbs get
 regenerated.

 If users don't know that their site is even generating WebP, how would
 they know they could do ''any'' of these things to avoid issues on their
 sites?
