Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 > So if this feature gets released in 6.1, I'd wager that ~99% of users
 won't ever realize it

 Thats right. When this is released in 6.1, users will get a faster site
 that works and looks exactly as it did before, without having to do
 anything on their end. 99% of users won't notice anything, except maybe
 that their site seems faster.

 > they are going to blow up their storage when thumbs get regenerated

 I think your concerns about storage are exaggerated. We are only
 generating a single mime type and regenerating images always has the
 potential to add new files, for example when new sizes are added. That is
 why the regenerate images plugin has the "delete previous images" option
 already.
