 MEDIA UNATTACH, this is a serious bug.
 +1

 Very bad user-interface issue in my mind.
 Because the option of unattach is not there, you hit delete thinking, it
 won't actually Delete the file, it'll just unattach it, and bam, it's very
 gone.

 Question: If I have 7 images in the gallery, how do I "remove/unattach"
 one of those images without deleting it?
 There is no "remove" or "X" or "unattach".
 If you add a picture to post Y and you've already tweaked 7 meta parts of
 it and cropped it etc. and then realize it should've been in post Z you
 have to redo it.
 Unless you are a programmer.

 Personally, I've uploaded 60 photos to one site, and accidently attached 4
 of them to the wrong post. The only solution I see now is to delete the 4
 images, reload them and then hopefully attach them to the correct gallery
 upon reupload.
