Comment (by helen):

 Noting for future reference - [attachment:38615.diff] is an exploration of
 adding support for featured images; Twenty Seventeen would particularly
 benefit from this behavior, but I imagine the same holds true for many
 themes. It includes untested support for page templates since it's similar
 in terms of storage. There's also a test change to Twenty Seventeen to
 show what the format would be like in this case - note that I've used an
 actual ID from my install, and that where exactly images should come from
 is TBD - from within theme directory or w.org are currently floated
 options.

 Further, there's a filter for whitelisting more args/fields for pages,
 though it'd be kind of funky to use for anything that's not a top level
 `wp_insert_post() $postarr` element because you'd have to also use the
 later filter. Just straight up allowing `meta_input` to be defined is also
 an option but complicates the format for theme authors and requires
 knowledge of how internal meta keys are named.
