 Replying to [comment:5 novasource]:
 > @c3mdigital: I think you're misunderstanding what I am saying. I am NOT
 recommending that we get rid of the link functionality. I am saying that
 in certain situations, the link to a full size version of the image is
 pointless and should not be inserted by default. Nothing in my request
 prevents links to other things; in fact, by not inserting pointless links
 by default, WordPress would reduce the steps to make useful links to other
 things.

 I understand where you're coming from.  This would need javascript to
 change the link select based on what image size is chosen.  I think the
 default should always be none personally but I know that it might
 frustrate a lot of users who are used to the image linking to the larger
 size.  I normally change the default in a plugin or theme setup function.
 We need to make decisions on tickets like this or we are never going to
 get the backlog of 3000 manageable.
