Comment (by paulwp):

 I personally see attachment in WP the same way it is in email's
 attachment.


 If you upload file thru a post (or an email) then it's attached to that
 particular post (or email) because it's your intention to do so, but if
 you upload it thru skydrive(hotmail) or gdrive(gmail) then it's unattached
 by intention, usage is done by pasting links.

 '''If the above makes sense…'''

 then we should remove the ability to auto attach the unattached when
 "insert into post" (and do not add this ability to gallery). Also, the
 "insert into post" should be renamed to "paste into post" or "place into
 post" because that's what it actually is.


 Users upload images directly via Media Library because they want them
 unattached and if decide later, the attach business can be done directly
 via Media Library as well. (this is doable then and still doable now -
 even in bulk)
