Comment:

 @nathanrice - A theme might not support a format or three (stylistically
 altering the post format on the front end) but at the same time, because
 no data will get dropped -  the user will have a nice place to put their
 content into meta boxes that is a much better experience then fumbling
 through the add-media modal that is geared towards inserting images into
 specific locations in posts. Therefore, I think it is good to have all the
 formats on even though the theme doesn't change the look of all the
 formats in the front end. Which do we think would be a more prevalent
 response in that scenario: "hey why doesn't my video post look different,
 or have a different icon / color" or "hey look that post has a video
 because I entered info in the meta boxes which is way easier than like it
 was before" I think formats are a great start to a content-tailored user
 experience when posting, and the front end / themes will follow suit
 visually because of all the icredibel thing that they can do to tailor
 this meta! (I'm so excited about this) - but even if themes do not have
 certain formats styled differently: there is great benefit in the improved
 ease of use in the admin.
