Should images uploaded with IMCE be managed?

When uploading an image via IMCE, you can see the files listed in /admin/content/files, but it shows '0' in the 'Used in' column. I assume this means that the image is not managed. What I think this implies is that images that have been inserted via IMCE can be deleted even if they're used in multiple places. Is this by design, or should the files be managed? It seems like it would be a nice thing for usage to be tracked to avoid accidental deletion and help users find and replace multiple uses of an image. Thanks!

    If I insert a file uploaded via IMCE into a WYSIWYG field, it doesn't indicate that it is "Used". Is that related to this issue? Is this issue still being worked on, or should I open a new ticket?
