Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Replying to [comment:9 joyously]:
 > `publish` seems like the wrong default for an attachment with no parent.
 Where is it published? I would suggest `draft` in this case.

 For `trash`ed parents, attachments have worked like this for a long time
 (at least as far back as 4.4.0). An attachment uploaded with one post as
 the parent may be published on another and WP Core offers no protections
 against using files in the uploads folder.

 > Is this marked for a dev note? There could be plugins checking for
 `false`.

 Yes, this is marked for a dev note.
