Comment (by rilwis):

 Regarding redirection, I think it’s better to redirect attachment page to
 the direct media file URL. Redirecting it to the parent post seems
 incorrect when users want to search for an image and get a post.

 I’ll vote for making it default and maybe add a filter to revert to the
 existing (current) behavior. Adding an option even confuses users, and I
 guess there will be a lot of tutorials just to explain “why” this option
 exists. After a few years, this will be a history.
