 Replying to [comment:6 westonruter]:

 players are not supporting it as well.

 I may be wrong, but I think that applies to MediaElement starting with
 version 3. WordPress still uses 2.22, see #39686.
 Regardless, FWIW I'd agree with removing core embedding support for WMV
 and WMA files. Not sure what should be done with these two lines:
