 Replying to [comment:35 melchoyce]:
 > why do we even have attached/detached? I'm honestly barely even sure I
 understand what it really means. Is it still used for anything? I'm sure
 the vast majority of users don't know and don't care
 That comes from a developer's point of view, giving how attached media are
 stored in the DB and then fetched, especially how media meta data are
 fetched. Of course this doesn't make any sense from a user's perspective,
 as you pointed out, users just want to add and remove images.
 Maybe time to consider a DB schema upgrade? After all, media inside a post
 are content and maybe media IDs should be stored in the post itself.
