While this is true, both specifications currently tackle different use-cases and for now are not yet fully compatible to each other.
This should be fixed by next weeks but the use-cases will always be different:
- picture is for art-direction mainly and is a completely new element while
- the srcset attribute is an attribute which should be usable on picture and img element.
For that I think authoring both specifications together to reach a good goal is important but I don't think we should merge
both specifications into one covering all.
