Yeah, I mean, screw IE11 users. An unsupported srcset just means that they will not benefit from this enhancement but they will just download a standard size. This is perfectly fine.

As for the syntax, yes, it’s better to always have some generator to create it. WordPress has been doing it for years with a plain `the_image($id)` call.



A better way of saying this is that srcset gracefully degrades for IE11. They will miss out on the benefits, but they still get to use a regular <img /> tag.
