Comment (by obenland):

 If used on single posts, that could lead to unwanted post title
 sandwiches. I wonder if it wouldn't just lead to more user frustration and
 confusion, when featured images show up without explicitly setting them.
 I'm sure there would also be a lot of instances where no image in the post
 content would be a good fit as a representation for the entire post.
