 I had to add media tag manually for my client, because I was adding a
 featured image to the feed and I noticed that wordpress doesn't have

 `<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">`

 tag in its rss tag. I noticed this when I got error in my feed validation,
 so I had to add it using

 {{{#!php
 <?php
 add_action( 'rss2_ns', 'custom_prefix_add_media_namespace' );

 function custom_prefix_add_media_namespace() {
     echo "xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"n";
 }
 }}}

 I saw a ticket [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/35043 #35043]
 regarding images in the feed being broken, but I'm not sure if this refers
 to images in the content, or the featured image.

 I'm not sure if it's needed for the images in the content, but it is if we
 want to add featured image as a media to the feed.

 Could we have a feed that will automatically add featured image to the
 main feed as a
 `<media:thumbnail url="..." />`  if the image is set?

 There already [http://matthewman.net/2012/10/09/wordpress-rss-custom-
 elements/ are hacks out there], so why not make it official?
