 Many themes and plugins use the concept of a post thumbnail — a
 representative image for the post. Generally, these are made by
 laboriously inserting a Custom Field with a full image URL.

 WordPress would benefit from having an authoritative way of defining a
 post thumbnail that uses a GUI instead of custom fields, and specifies an
 image attachment ID instead of a URL so that themes may get that image in
 any size they want.
