Description
### Impacted plugin
Jetpack
### What
Avif support for Photon
### How
With the latest Edge version adding support for avif, all maintained browsers now support avif.
Work on adding avif support for WordPress core is made, and it might land with WordPress 6.5.
Is there a plan to add avif support for Photon?
Also, how currently Photon treats avif? Is it excluded from the CDN?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the Photon entry point and how it currently handles AVIF requests; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Establish whether AVIF is excluded from the CDN, then define the implementation and verification work needed for Photon to support it, considering the WordPress core AVIF work mentioned in the issue.
