Comment (by Stagger Lee):

 I vote for this.

 As optional check, for them who want slideshow instead of standard
 gallery.
 Believe me, I tested all plugins (and many themes with inbuild function)
 for highjacking shortcode for slideshow. You always, always see for breaf
 time first standard gallery layout, then it becomes slideshow. Translated
 it means, you simply cannnot use them for anything serious, even with
 heavy caching.

 Think core would manage it better.

 PS: Have slight feeling whole media management in WP core is a bit old
 philosophy. It is from old days when media management was not sufficient,
 and used only for few images per post. Now when you made something
 extraordinary of media in core let it lift to whole new level, it can.

 Gallery shortcode is one example. Few images, looks nice any time. Mass of
 images, makes post/page unnecessary to long in height.
