Comment:

 As seen in the screen shot above, visiting media.php following [55647]
 results in a white screen without any user facing information. As a
 [https://wpdirectory.net/search/01GR9676D2CSG282G1BSD0QSF9 number of
 plugins] reference the file, the most popular with 200K+ installs, I don't
 think this is adequate.

 I think a redirect to `admin_url( '/uploads.php' )` is more suitable. If
 placed after the deprecation notice, a `headers_sent()` check will be
 required.
