This is probably why 24fps works best...

Film uses 24fps, and more recently, 48fps and even higher. Timecode in theatrical films is different and very simple — it counts every frame from number 1 to the total number of frames in the movie.

While this is true for editing, an actual 24fps signal (as opposed to a 23.976fps one) isn't always fully compatible with modern displays. For example, the Total Recall "Mind-Bending Edition" Blu-ray is one of the few discs encoded at 1080p24, and a few people had problems where frames are skipped/dropped: http://www.avsforum.com/search.php?containingthread[]=1406134&output=posts&action=disp&search=24&resultSortingPreference=recency

If possible, I think the final release should be at 23.976p.

Very possible and very easy, I assume that's what You_Too and DJ are going to do. For sync the DTS audio needs to be matched at 24fps (because it fits perfectly) but converting it to 23.976 should just be a matter of putting it through eac3to to a lossless format then encoding to DTS.

I don't believe that most modern displays/players would have this problem, the standard has been set and most currently available and future hardware should support 24fps without dropouts.

That said, your point is well taken and you are right. The conversion from 24 to 23.976 is so easy to do and is more compatible for those with older hardware/video processor setups that it would be crazy to leave the final product at 24fps, I guess.
