 If I'm using a theme that supports post formats—e.g. Twenty Eleven—then
 next to each title on `wp-admin/edit.php` I'm able to see not only the
 title name but also the post format that corresponds to its respective
 post.

 If I switch to a theme that does not support post formats at all I am
 still able to see post formats associated with their respective posts.

 This is not good for a few reasons:

 * Showing a post format next to a title while a theme that doesn't support
 post formats is active is confusing. "Why does my post have the word
 Image/Link/Status/Quote by it? What does that mean?"
 * There is no way to edit or remove a post format associated with a post
 when a theme that does not support post formats is active, so the labels
 are useless.

 When a theme that does not support post formats is active those format
 labels should be hidden. The posts can of course still retain their
 formats in case a user switches back to a theme that supports theme, but
 otherwise they should be hidden.
