Comment (by westonruter):

 Call for feedback: Please see https://github.com/xwp/wp-core-media-
 widgets/issues/51 and provide feedback in terms of near-term merge of
 media widgets.

 See method as defined in `WP_Widget_Media`: https://github.com/xwp/wp-
 core-media-widgets/blob/4445e0bf78ad008af79f962b874237c67ce93968/wp-
 includes/widgets/class-wp-widget-media.php#L91-L120

 And in the `WP_Widget_Image` subclass: https://github.com/xwp/wp-core-
 media-widgets/blob/4445e0bf78ad008af79f962b874237c67ce93968/wp-
 includes/widgets/class-wp-widget-image.php#L47-L136

 And then see how the widget can make use of it in the `update` method so
 that the image widget subclass doesn't need to define its own `update`
 method, since the parent class reads from the schema and does all of the
 logic: https://github.com/xwp/wp-core-media-
 widgets/blob/4445e0bf78ad008af79f962b874237c67ce93968/wp-includes/widgets
 /class-wp-widget-media.php#L181-L225
