Lots of cinema stuff is or at least was shot at 23.976, or at least that's the 
way the frame rate is often labelled in the cameras.
The reason people originally started doing this is that editing was often done 
on 29.97 video, so there might be audio sync problems if the original material 
was shot at 24.00.
It's still often done today, at least partly out of force of habit. Sometimes 
audio timecode is still 29.97 even though the production might never actually 
see a 29.97 environment unless and until it goes out on TV or on DVD.
I get the impression most of the people behind ffmpeg do not have very much 
experience in actual film and TV production.
