Well there is no 640X400 or so 16 color mode with the new denise.
16 grey scale is a minimum for many display applications,
several of which I use (displaying radar terrain is one).
Flicker is not acceptable in many environments which need
at least 16 colors, on each scanline.  Also gets rid of the
(to me) very annoying gap between scanlines.

So in summary for many people fliker in hires modes is no
problem and the gap between scanlines is acceptable,
for many the new 640X480 X 4 color productivity mode will
be all they will ever need,

BUT speaking for myself and many others there is a need for
16 color HiRes interlaced displays with NO flicker
so the flicker fixer does serve a purpose for many users/developers.
