 Replying to [comment:42 SergeyBiryukov]:

 Yes, with the old uploader it was possible to select whether to use the
 flash (multi-file) or the standard 'file' form field. That was needed as
 the old flash method had numerous problems with certain server configs so
 some users couldn't use it at all.

 The new uploader tries several different multi-file methods before falling
 back to the single file field. We can probably add back the old single-
 file bypass if it turns out it's still needed. More importantly on the Add
 new media screen we need a <noscript> way of uploading a file too.
