I think the main problem with removing these is backwards compatibility. If we remove them - will it break user's blogs? Are you guys having a difficult time maintaining these? If so, we can consolidate - but I know I haven't touched any of these in quite some time. In fact, the drop-down to choose which one I want is broken on my blog(s) and I've never had an inkling to change it.
