A new zz_LINEAR in B3/S23/C1:

Looks like this is known as yl1152_2016_06_24 now.

[muzik]

I'm assuming all zz items in b3s23/C1 eventually get manually converted to yl ones?

[Apple Bottom]

I'm assuming all zz items in b3s23/C1 eventually get manually converted to yl ones?

Yes, or at least those that are, in fact, linear-growth patterns.

[muzik]

Can't wait until our first (real) zz_QUADRATIC.

Would there then be a new "yq" category for quadratic patterns?

Unfortunately, I'm embarrassed to say, I can't seem to find any beehive-to-tub converters, which could turn this into heart on two tubs, the smallest heart variant, and the only known period 5 oscillator (that I am aware of) up to 26 bits without a synthesis, other than 17 versions of Elkies's P5, and several versions of Silver's P5.

Unfortunately, I'm embarrassed to say, I can't seem to find any beehive-to-tub converters, which could turn this into heart on two tubs, the smallest heart variant, and the only known period 5 oscillator (that I am aware of) up to 26 bits without a synthesis, other than 17 versions of Elkies's P5, and several versions of Silver's P5.

I found two methods, both for eight gliders. This one proceeds via boat:

Did you find this from a soup? If so, could you please post a link to it? B heptominos are easy to synthesize, but they and their predecessors tend to move rapidly forward, so it's not easy to make one in a position where a beehive could be brought in behind it.

Here is a 11-glider synthesis for one of the two unknown 18-bit 1beacon-like P2s from a predecessor from a soup. Half an hour after finding this, I found a way to make an converter (based on predecessors from many soups that use the same mechanism) that also makes this from 11 gliders, and gives the other unknown one from 14 gliders:
