Well, although the future is gonna be progressive (thanks God), aside from 4K streams and the new 8K streams, everything else is still gonna be interlaced. In other words, if you watch a TV show or a Sporting event in a FULL HD or SD channel, they're still gonna be 25i. In other words, even if modern cameras work in 50p and editing is done progressively and so on, the final output is still gonna be divided in fields to get an interlaced 25i, so I think it's worth working on this by the manufacturers to get the best possible results.
