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?

Agreed. It would be nice to have it in the bulk-edit. When I first decided to use post formats for WordPreh.com, I had to go back and edit a bunch of already published posts to set them to the proper format. Being able to do
it in quick/bulk edit would have been much more convenient. :)


The development version of the tag/category converter also supports post
formats.
