Comment:

 I had a few Slack discussions with @melchoyce and @westonruter about this
 ticket. This could be fixed by bundling FitVids with default themes, or
 something similar. But it might be better to bundle the needed
 functionality with core itself, making all the embeds, videos, etc.
 responsive by default. Themes could opt into it with an
 `add_theme_support` statement. This makes even more sense with Gutenberg
 coming in the future, and all kinds of blocks potentially needing this
 functionality.

 For that reason, I'd say we punt this until 4.9.1, and aim for something
 like that.

 Until then, the default themes and the embeds will still look okay in most
 cases, they just won't be full width or fluid.

 Happy to hear other suggestions and thoughts though.
