Comment(by azaozz):

 There are already five hooks that deal with these buttons and there are "a
 thousand" hooks that deal with media uploading and handling.

 Hooks are "cheap" but do we really need four more for a total of nine
 hooks filtering four links? The problem is that we will have to keep track
 of all actions and filters when updating the media features.

 The whole `media_buttons()` function can easily be replaced by using:
 {{{
 remove_action( 'media_buttons', 'media_buttons' );
 add_action( 'media_buttons', 'my_custom_buttons' );
 }}}
