What you seem to fail to understand is that POV is not a rendering
engine, it is a scene description language.

Try to replace the language (I know you're not) and you'll not only get
howls of outrage from users, but you won't have POV any more.

Replace the rendering engine and it's still POV. If the new engine is
faster and/or gives the better output, you'll be congratulated.

Nobody really cares about the renderer except those who coded it.
The lagnuage *IS* POV-Ray.
