Steve, there are already endless threads at APUG, that have a life of their own but accomplish little or nothing more than adding to the post count of the posters. Whats difference does one more thread make?
What you are missing is the history. When the hybrid process was allowed, there were endless threads on this versus that and "mine is better than yours". Most were happy with the separation. If a vote were taken today the results would be the same. There are many other sites that handle the hybrid process issues.

I just find it odd that people claim that they want to promote the use of film, yet they want to exclude a large segment of film users. I do print B&W in a traditional darkroom, but for color, I use a hybrid process. I guess that makes me a bad person!
Did any of you notice that the new film we are supposedly discussing is easier to scan?
Yes, Kodak is acknowledging a hybrid workflow in this redesigned film just as they have in Ektar and other recent introductions.
So, what do you think?
And, as I said above, I use a hybrid workflow as my entire darkroom is now configured for B&W process design and emulsion making!

Folks, we're getting lots of reports for this thread, which is ostensibly about the new version of Portra 400. Please keep it to that, since we'd rather not have to edit the thread, and we would like the thread to be a useful resource about this new film if someone is just looking for that sort of information through a search engine. If you want to argue about the place of hybrid photography on APUG, please take it to the Soapbox.
I've thrown in my two cents about the hybrid thing here a couple times.
What are the good sites that really discuss hybrid workflow nowadays? Photo.net has some decent discussions in their film forum. Largeformatphotography does, but it has such an LF bent (understandably) that make it unsuitable for some discussions. Hybridphoto has some great people on it with a lot of knowledge, but in my opinion is really concentrated on making digital negatives for alternative processes. Have I missed any?
What many of those sites don't have are people like PE, AgX, Ian, etc who really know a lot about the inner workings of film. I've had questions in the past for PE about color dyes in films and interactions with scanners, etc., but this isn't the venue for it. So where do I start that discussion? On a site he doesn't frequent?
I'm not saying APUG should open that can of worms. I'm just making an observation on one of the downsides of the current policy. I still think A LOT of hassle would be saved if a sticky post at the top of the film forums with FAQs/links to scanning resources would diffuse a lot of the annoying questions.
Please start a new thread in the Soap Box. See Dave Goldfarb's post #161 and SuzanneR's #165!.
Done. (there was a url link here which no longer exists)
By what means is the scanability of this new film improved?
He is abusing his status as a partner...
