"not deinterlaced" == not this:

pixel[0,0] pixel[0,1] ... pixel[0,in_w-1]  pixel[2,0] pixel[2,1] ... 
pixel[in_h-2,in_w-1] ...
pixel[1,0] pixel[1,1] ... pixel[1,in_w-1]  pixel[3,0] pixel[3,1] ... 
pixel[in_h-1,in_w-1]

In the terminology of the FFmpeg project (which is the only one
relevant on this mailing list), above is not called "deinterlaced".

That's fine. I understand. If it's not called "deinterlaced", then what do I 
call it?

De-interleaved as done by the il filter.

Ah! I applaud that name. Brovo! I will not write "interlace" in the future except when I refer to how a display device processes non-interleaved video lines (25i/30i) for the screen.

The reason FFmpeg decoders (if not buggy) always output
interleaved ("non de-interleaved") images is foremost (at least
imo) that you cannot connect a CRT to the output of an FFmpeg
decoder and that no driver - gpu - screen combination I have
seen so far could correctly display it.

I agree.

I also suspect that no encoder would correctly deal with it.
There may be other reasons.
I believe it makes little sense to document that we don't do
something that would be useless, the documentation is already
very long documenting design decisions that are less obvious.

PS:
Using above definition, both FFmpeg's hevc and j2k decoders
are buggy.

Thank you for being patient, Carl Eugen.

I apologize for any confusion. I'm not proposing that ffmpeg document what it doesn't do and I agree with that. However, I've not found a description of what ffmpeg does... until you have confirmed it, here. Thank you. Planar and packed pix_fmts is probably more info than what is needed to convey the concept of ffmpeg's transcoding pipeline and of the general line format in the pipeline.

Long Life!
Mark.
