Comment (by mrmist):

 I believe this behaviour was introduced in [9686] to fix an issue where
 users could delete media they shouldn't be able to  (I.E. belonging to
 others).

 I wouldn't want that reverted completely.

 Of course if the checks can be made more specific, then that's great.
 Though you'd have to watch out because if you are talking about deleting /
 editing media that's attached to a post then effectively you are editing a
 post and it should be checking for edit post ability.
