Comment (by iamtakashi):

 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.

 We could improve the lines by using only CSS as opposed to with a pattern
 image and tone down the color a bit.

 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.
