Out of curiosity I tried for what colorspaces the current scaling algorithm 
does work and I was very surprised that it actually worked for all 
colorspaces except the 32 bit floating one (I forgot the name and I just 
uninstalled krita). And even for this colorspace it kind of works. It only 
gets some pixels wrong (I think that is because the scaling algorithm 
actually checks some border cases and treats them in a special way and this 
fails for the 32 bit colorspace).

Or maybe Layer->Convert layer just doesn't work and they are all RGB8. But I 
don't think so because the filter needs twice as long if you convert to 
RGB16.

Maybe somebody has an idea why scaling works even for 16 bit floating point 
RGB color channels with the current algorithm?
