Then don't support it. I don't expect Alias to support Maya plugin's.
You support the API and that is all. Same level of support as for the 
unofficial pov versions.

Some goes for any program that has plugins. Hell the unofficial pov
versions could have trojans, there is no guarantee that the source 
available is the one used to compile the binaries. Same for the
official version. If the pov team would really be that pov could go the 
embedded language route, most of them offer sandboxes.
