You do want to vary the aspect-ratio based on screen-size breakpoints. For example, you may want to go from a 1024x300 image to a 600x200 image when the window is less than 1024px wide. You *don't* want to vary the aspect-ratio when you're just selecting different resolutions. As far as I know, there's no use-case for actually giving *different images* when you just select on resolution (after you've already decided which to use based on breakpoints). I'm ready to be corrected, but I haven't seen anything against this assumption yet. ~TJ
