In the (NTSC) television industry we don't use 30 or 24 either. It's 29 and 23 (ignoring all the extra .94's and .97 and .976's).

Good post Martin, but I would not include Segmented Frame in the hierarchy. This is just a dumb trick to record real film frames on a recording device that was invented for capturing interlaced fields. SF does not exist inside a modern post production system which operates on frame based video; it is much easier to store the film frames, either compressed or uncompressed...on a hard drive.
