Comment (by Frumph):

 Let's see if I can articulate what I am thinking is erm, not necessarily
 wrong, but method of utilization.

 As you know I create comic sites for people; recently made comic easel
 which is a plugin that uses the media library.   When people upload comics
 to their custom post type it's attached as a featured image.  Previous to
 the 3.? whatever, attachments were associated to the post via the post ID,
 so I could let people who wanted multiple comics per day attach them into
 the gallery and they would attach to the post id.   So I would search for
 all of the attachments on that post ID and then loop display them, there
 is multiple images for that post.

 Now however, I can still do that; unfortunately the media UI doesn't show
 all of the images that are attached to the current post, it shows them
 all.  So the end user cannot see the images that they attached to the post
 and modify the gallery for that post since .. really there isn't a way to
 do it anymore.   Once the media library changed; that UI functionality is
 gone.  The 'core' backend function is still there though; so the attached-
 to-the-post-images still get displayed; just no way to work it with the
 UI.
