Comment (by Florian Apolloner):
It is true that it is the default value but that was never a useful value
to begin with if you deployed your site. Assume the following (with the
default `MEDIA_ROOT`): you are on page http://example.com/sub1/sub2 and
request the URL of `my_image.jpg` which would yield
`photos/123/my_image.jpg`. Putting that into an `<img>` tag would result
in a final URL of http://example.com/sub1/sub2/photos/123/my_image.jpg. Do
the same on http://example.com/sub3 instead and you'd get
http://example.com/sub3/photos/123/my_image.jpg. So how did you ever serve
your images with this setup?
