 > I'd like to keep the diagonal lines placeholders for encouraging users
 to add featured images that are important visual elements for the theme,
 and a lead image for a post is pretty common design pattern for a magazine
 site which is what Twenty Fourteen will be made for.

 pattern image and tone down the color a bit.

 I feel the same way.

 > Turning the placeholder into a dropzone is a cool concept for setting
 the featured image which initiates the idea of "front-end editing". But if
 we go for it, we need to come up with an elegant design idea in order to
 let users know they can upload.

 We could make it a form to users who have permission to edit that post. As
 much as I think this would be nice to have, I don't think this would go
 with trying to keep default themes simple.
