 One more thing.

 This is being re-opened for a final round of UX improvements. This is not
 done lightly — this comes after some extensive testing, research, and
 enlightenment, and thanks to lots of feedback from support forums on both
 WordPress.org and WordPress.com. It started with issues in the selection
 workflow (it was too easy to accidentally select-and-insert multiple
 images). It led to issues ranging from how this UI was going to be used by
 plugins (more buttons in the main view, or more views) to the realization
 that this is a now-or-never situation. We just won't be able to change
 this without breaking a ton in the future. Now it is.

 A number of us have been testing out the patches above today, and believe
 it is ready to go in. It separates the workflows in a slightly different
 way to account for real-world usage. The first step of this was actually
 the Featured Image changes over the weekend. This is the final capstone.
 If all goes well this will be merged onto WP.com in a few hours, and will
 go out with RC3 tonight. Sorry (kind of) for breaking everyone's
 screenshots.
