Comment (by georgestephanis):

 Not to throw another wrench in the works, but there's likely to be a
 number of folks who want to embed an image or media that isn't in their
 media library -- by url.

 The Jetpack image widget supports that, but I'd certainly love to see a
 better ui for it -- maybe one that prepopulates all the fields by a
 selected media library item, and then the user can just tweak text fields
 if they like to customize or change urls?  Unsure.

 widget.php

 I just have this nagging fear that something as 'simple' as an Image
 Widget will become so overly complicated that it won't be mergeable.
