Well, the security part is important... But this feature has a lot of practical uses on site development and will give joomla a big step forward. Restrict file upload to specific user directory, using custom fields is very logical because this way you can create sites that actually different users can upload files without permission to see others files.

Closing as the feature is removed from the core now.

It is unfortunate what you are doing with Joomla, supposedly to improve "security" But you know what? When it is well dead in its box it will be truly safe.
Please checkout: https://github.com/Bakual/CustomFieldGallery that contains the gallery field that was removed from core.
Feel free open new issues with feature requests and not comment on closed issue. Please be aware that we can not implement any potential use case in the core and we have a great list of extensions adding additional features.

Currently there is the plan to remove that feature in the stable release of 3.7 because of security issues. But there is no decision yet.
