I forgot to add: In a perfect world, we'd have sensors that measure RGB at EACH sensor location. Yes, it might give us higher color resolution than we actually need and make our files a bit bigger, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. In a practical world, where Foveon sensors have issues that Bayer sensors don't have, we might be sticking with the Bayer idea (or variations of it) for some time. Especially considering that pretty much all the video any of us has ever watched has less color resolution than it does luminance resolution. In other words, the idea of reducing color resolution is pretty ubiquitous and doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and consumers are usually totally okay with it.
