I entirely agree. I was snarking because we tried to do something
similar by making Theora fixed frame rate, and it feels like we've
gone backwards on that with WebM and WebRTC. Not a fair comparison, of
course, since cheap fixes to variable frame rate video don't look as
bad as cheap deinterlacing, and computers are natively more flexible
there.
