Comment (by mrwweb):

 Replying to [comment:26 knutsp]:

 It seems that we're talking past each other here. I see three main
 arguments, two in favor of leaving it in for all post formats, one
 against. They are:

 Point 1. [comment:22 mrwweb]:
 > [T]he post format semantically describes the '''primary''' piece of
 content/media in the post, but '''doesn't exclude''' auxiliary
 content/media in the post. [emphasis added]

 Point 2. [comment:25 jb510]:
 > [The] Add Media button is intrinsically tied to the visual editor and
 ought to apear [sic] anywhere and everywhere the visual editor appears.

 Point 3. [comment:26 knutsp]
 Paraphased: Each post format is for posting something '''only''' of that
 format. e.g. A gallery should only be a gallery. A video should only be a
 video.

 Points 1 and 3 are a disagreement about the intention of post formats.
 Point 2 is about the nature of the "Add Media" button editor. It seems
 that some people outside the three most-recent commenters (myself
 included) need to weigh in if this hasn't been decided already.
