Comment (by billerickson):

 As described by others, I think the required features should be:
 - An easy way to create metaboxes
 - Common fields built-in
 - Easy way to extend them to add new fields

 There shouldn't be any UI for creating metaboxes or fields. That's plugin
 territory.

 I think we've done a pretty good job with our code library (
 [https://github.com/jaredatch/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress/
 code] | [https://github.com/jaredatch/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-
 WordPress/wiki wiki] ) and would love to see something similar make it
 into core.
