[whatwg] So if media-queries aren't for determining the media to be used what are they for?

@media on video source is terrible for layout adaptation: it's only
considered when selecting a source. So if you load the page, then turn
your device so it's in landscape mode (or resize your browser window or
whatever), the source won't change, even though which source matches the
medium might have just changed.
Is the expectation that device-adapting images will reload from the new
URI in cases like the above? Or not? Both answers have some problems. :(
