 I'd like to suggest that an additional folder is added to the /uploads
 folder, for /media_library uploads.  If not for all media uploads, then at
 least for when Mo/Yr Media organization is disabled.

 I've worked on several projects where there are simply not going to be
 very many media files.  In effect, I'll deactivate the "Organize my
 uploads into month- and year-based folders" checkbox/feature.  BUT, even
 if there are only 4 dozen images uploads, that ends up creating = 12 x 4 x
 (image sizes per theme settings).  Those 48 photos can quickly turn into a
 few hundred, diluting the convenience of quickly referencing  /wp-
 content/uploads.

 Today, several plugins/addons store files/folders within the Uploads
 folder. This probably wasn't an issue years ago, but today it creates a
 mess of files in /uploads.  Between all of these factors, it's not nearly
 as "clean" in /uploads as it once used to be.
