[wp-testers] post-format 'standard'?

While reading this, i'm thinking to continually question why to limit the 
post formats to those distinct few.

The main defense is to be compatible with various themes, however Nacin 
points out a tag/converter that supports post formats that can move one post 
format to another.

Is there really something i'm missing?  Is it a core code deficiency that is 
not allowing non-exclusive post formats?

If someone is moving from one theme to another and the other theme doesn't 
support x format, say aside, it's going to fall back to normal posts 
anyways.   If they make it support the post format, the can do it with 
whatever custom post format was made as well.

What am I missing here that is causing the limitation to only that set?
