 removing Post Formats from core.

 What would complete the implementation? Part of the issue with Post
 Formats is that most are unsure of what its supposed to be.

 Another large part of the issue in all cases I've encountered is that the
 feature is inherently crippled in that it's not extendable. We love WP for
 its flexibility, but having a feature with no wiggle room inhibits its
 growth and success. I understand that the reasoning in the beginning was
 for standardization and to allow more portability between themes, but at
 this point it's clear that that path wasn't successful. Not every use case
 fits cleanly into the pre-defined formats.
