Comment (by pbiron):

 @Mista-Flo In a very real sense the original ticket description is asking
 for a (backwards incompatible) change to what ''unattached'' means for
 media.

 I'm not 100% convinced that is a good idea, so I'm very much open to other
 opinions on the subject.

 Yes, ''attached'' for media (currently) means has `post_parent !== 0`.
 And I think that is still a valuable concept.  Perhaps what is needed is a
 new "filter" such as ''Unused'' that would be **in addition to**
 ''Unattached''.

 > It would also probably be better to open another ticket for the issue
 you mention on your first comment.

 It may not be clear, but comment:1 was added **2 weeks** after this ticket
 was opened, and the issues mentioned in that comment are tangential to the
 original issue description...but as @afercia says, they come into play on
 other related tickets, such as linked to in comment:3.

 Hope that clarifies things.
