Comment (by westonruter):

 @karmatosed After I commented, actually, I also had pangs of guilt for
 suggesting that the functionality be added to the theme as opposed to a
 plugin. So yeah, +1 on going the feature plugin route. I just wish there
 was a way to have the plugin auto-install and activate with the activation
 of Twenty Seventeen, but alas we don't have dependency mechanism yet. I
 don't suppose the feature plugin should be bundled with core either like
 Akismet. Should there be a prompt somewhere for users to install the
 plugin?
