In my opinion, as much as Discard does :)

(Although there is a subtle difference, Discard can be thought of as a
1x mode for Bob, keeping only the top field.)

:)

I was thinking that if Linear had a 1x mode (and X a 2x mode), there
would be a logical progression of interpolator/doubler pairs with
different interpolation methods: none (Discard + Bob), linear (Linear),
edge-oriented (X) and spatial/temporal (Yadif).

But this would still leave Phosphor and IVTC as the odd ones out... 1x
for Phosphor doesn't even make sense, and for IVTC, I've been thinking
about this some more and 2x doesn't make sense in the context of the
current algorithm. (It would for Phosphate/IVTC2x, but there's probably
no point in developing that further.)

Mm. That's just a working label to go with Yadif (2x) :)

2X? X at 2x? X<sup>2</sup>?

XXX?

Y? :P
