I have always used denzo/scalepack, and then scalepack2mtz to convert .sca file to .mtz file. So my data is always processed according to French&Wilson.
Now from what you are saying I understand that there is some possibility to get into using non-truncated data with phenix? And not only that, it seems to be the default?
FYI, AutoSol, AutoMR, and Phaser all accept scalepack files as input (or d*TREK or XDS, I think), and generate MTZ files as output, so if a user jumps directly from HKL2000 to Phenix, it would be very easy to skip the French&Wilson step. The need to run an extra conversion step in a different suite is not going to be obvious to grad students (and many if not most postdocs). We've discussed implementing the French&Wilson protocol in CCTBX, but I don't know how much work that is (since I still don't know what it actually does after reading this entire discussion). -Nat
