Comment (by nacin):

 I probably dedicate a few hours a week to reading journalism, much of it
 of the long-form variety. Ultimately, this is what the "standard" post is
 designed to represent — a traditional post, article, or story. The other
 post types all represent very specific types of content. Even an aside is
 designed to be an abridged, quick piece of text that characteristically
 lacks a title. But there's little that is inherently different between a
 500-word post and a 50,000-word post.

 We haven't changed the original formats since they were introduced in
 2011, and I don't see us making any changes along these lines at this
 point. Thanks for the suggestion!
