I fully agree with (almost) everything. However, the checkerboard, column interlaced and row interlaced 3D packing methods exist (or have existed). They are perhaps (or probably) obsolete now, but they are still supported. Also, I guess IanD wants to play his movies from a HDD directly connected to the TV, without passing through HDMI, but I'm not sure. (I don't know any TV able to play row interlaced material directly.)
Anyway, I think you're globally right. I will probably not implement the row interlaced packing method, unless someone can prove that it's useful. I have posted the modification to do to the scripts above, and if IanD really wants to encode in row-interlaced, he is free to modify the files manally.
And BTW, thanks for your remark about the black bars. It's exactly for that reasons that I have always refused to add a crop feature to BD3D2MK3D.
