[theme-reviewers] Concerning set_post_thumbnail_size and alternatives

[Justin Tadlock]

The recommended practice should be to use set_post_thumbnail_size() for 
custom thumbnail sizes.  This is a wrapper for add_image_size() 
specifically made for theme authors to create a custom post thumbnail 
size.  That, in turn, allows us plugin developers to check if a theme 
has created a custom thumbnail size with easy checks like:

if ( has_image_size( 'post-thumbnail' ) )
     /* do something cool because themes used set_post_thumbnail_size() */

The use of add_image_size() should be used for additional image sizes.
