than half of them support post formats (assuming tagging is correct).
This may or may not be valuable in the conversation, but thought I'd add
that data point.

that Post Formats, when supported, are supported in a very limited way and
do almost nothing. For example, in Twenty Fifteen several formats are
supported, but the only format that really does anything at all is Aside.
The rest seem to be there solely for taxonomy and indexing purposes.
That actually makes the case for removing them from core even stronger in
my opinion. If the themes that do support Post Formats don't do much at
all, they serve even less of a function.
