 Sorry for the spam but...
 Wow! Just noticed this was added to Milestone
 Feeling so proud about being able to get involved in such a big project
 and giving back to this amazing community!

 As I mentioned in Slack, I'm pretty sure that attachments are the most
 used post-type in 99% of WP sites. It has always seemed very strange to me
 that the absence of proper hooks in the attachment creation process could
 have been ignored all this time.

 My boilerplate should work as is but maybe someone more involved in core-
 media should double check that I'm not missing anything important. I tried
 to cover most scenarios I've come across while developing projects where I
 use WP as a headless rest-api provider.

 I think this little improvement will open a world of opportunities for
 developers, specially the ones building media plugins or the ones trying
 to integrate WP REST Api. I believe having a fully hookable core is the
 key for removing any compromises that may exist in the use of our REST
 api. This will keep WP ahead for the years to come.
