Comment (by paulwp):

 Before WP3.5 there is "insert into post" that automatically assign the
 unattached image to become attached to whatever post (or page) that it is
 being inserted to.

 This ability is still there in WP3.5 ( I just tested, it works).

 Upload an image via Media so that it's unattached, once uploaded see the
 "Attached to" column (in WP3.5 the text changed to "Uploaded to") it is
 now saying "(unattached)" with the clickable link underneath saying
 "Attach" that invites you to attach it to any post of your choice, now
 keep this page open, then make a new post and click "Add Media" select
 images then click "insert into post" now go back to refresh the Media
 Library page, you will see it now become attached to that post.

 The ability to attach the unattached image has been there and is still
 there. Users upload images directly thru the Media Library so that it is
 not attached and they can decide (with intention) to attach them later
 thru "insert into post" or thru Media Library page.

 Let's not forget this is a ticket for WP3.5 onward. There is no need to
 add this ability into gallery, it will defeat the purpose of having
 multiple galleries regardless of its parents.
