 > The goal of #57913 was to prevent attachment pages from being indexed by
 search engine crawlers. Is there any way crawlers can access the
 attachment pages by using directly the attachment page url? I'd think a
 crawler would first crawl the parent post, and then follow the links to
 the attachment pages. Unless I'm missing something.

 I see the point, though I don't think it's safe to assume that attachment
 page URLs can be only discovered for attachments attached to a post.
 Therefore I would prefer this feature to cover all attachments (regardless
 whether they are attached to a post or not).
