Of course this thread isnt supposed to be about if its a good idea to increase the size, so far everyone is agreement on that front. The issue is whether doing so would kill swift due to a large increase in object count (or some other performance concern(?)) as has appearantly been suggested.
Im not sure it would actually increase the object count that much, if the new size chosen was a multiple of the old (as was suggested on wikipedia) since that size will already probably be rendered for retina display. Also we added the whole retina display srcset feature without the world exploding, and i think that was orders of magnitude bigger change than this would be. Ill admit im not actually familar with what the performance issues are, and may have just said something totally irrelavent.
I can't see how enabling a size that's already enabled in production on a further wiki will significantly increase the object count, but removing all sizes except one will definitely reduce it. :-)
