Description
From user testing:
"I have no idea what it means when it says an image is 'Attached' to a post. Does it mean the image is in the post? Does it mean if I 'Detach' the image from the post it will go away from the post? I'm worried a client might 'Detach' an image from a post to remove it, or 'Attach' an image to add it. What is this for? How can an image be 'Unattached' to the post it is displayed in anyway?"

See the original ticket for some important background:
Make it possible to manually detach/attach post images #6820
where this issue has been discussed extensively and one of the option discussed was to "completely remove both Attach and Detach in the future".
