Right. The biggest thing that doesn't work anymore on newer cards is xawtv in overlay mode, but anything that wants to do stuff with the video (deinterlace, etc) runs in capture mode, not overlay. Hardware scaling works fine, and it's worked fine each time this has come up on this list, with people pasting the same completely wrong information from that mailing list post. =) Color control adjustments (brightness/contrast/etc) are nonexistant currently on the newer cards, but since those can be done in other ways, I'd assume they'll be back eventually.
