Comment (by joyously):

 Facebook has made other breaking changes, but WP didn't have any
 integration, so it didn't matter. It was up to plugins to adapt. With
 embed being in core, WP has to adapt. I think it's best to simply remove
 support for that embed type. Plugins can take up the slack. But it does
 bring up the concept of making all embeds generic, meaning that WP only
 supplies the basic infrastructure for the embed, and plugins do the rest.
 That way core doesn't have to keep up with all the different providers.
 This might be a good time to switch to that.
