Comment:

 Agreed. Linking to the attachment page (as well as linking to bare images)
 results in confusion. It's particularly cumbersome on mobile devices. As
 mentioned in the chat, we should consider baking something along the
 line's of wp.com/Jetpack's Carousel into core. We should be able to swipe
 through galleries on mobile out of the box. Access to full-width images
 should be straightforward. Diving in and out of attachment pages or bare
 images is not a good experience. This seems a good step 1.
