This comment is just for background: Within calibre code, the cover is handled as metadata. Merging books, it gets merged using the same method as other metadata, the same is true for Copy to Library, etc. I'm not disagreeing with dwanthny - he's right that it's handled differently (there's a special parameter used for handling the cover when handling metadata) and the "Strictly speaking" part of the quote reflects that difference. I'm just pointing out that it depends on the perspective as to whether one considers the cover to be metadata or not.
