> Any chance the "standard" list could be pulled and cached from a web
service on WordPress.org? That way the standard list could be decoupled
from release and the community could add desired Post Formats more
quickly, maybe by using an ongoing polling mechanism to see what people
need?
Interesting idea, but I think revisiting this every 4-6 months (i.e. every
major release) seems sensible. The goal is for people to switch themes and
for all of their content that they curated by format to continue to have
special treatment. Just tacking on more formats as we go whenever someone
comes up with a use case is against the goal of having consistency and a
standard across just one area of theme development. A constantly moving
standard is impossible to hit.
