Is anyone using "Reader" or "Ultra Compact" views, or can I drop support for those?

Summary: Unless anyone speaks up, I'm leaning toward removing those two views.

I'm rewriting the component for the post body preview in the feed to address my own gripes as well as Issue 35 in Github.

TL;DR is that the "Ultra-Compact" and "Reader" views rely on the "Post Body Preview Length" setting and the old method of doing the previews which was just a dumb "show X characters of the post body" based on the un-rendered body markdown.

The new method uses the rendered output and controls the height of the body text for a similar effect. It's also MUCH more responsive and able to take the screen width into account. In short, it's much more flexible, looks much better, and is probably what I should have done the first time.

"Reader" and "Ultra-Compact" rely on a setting that I'm going to be removing. So, rather than re-implement those and complicate what is, finally, a clean/simple refactor, can I just get rid of them?
