  I can't understand why.

  The only difference is that instead of spawing multiple rays at each
intersection point, only one ray is spawned. The only problem is how the
results are gathered in order to produce the correct color.

  I can develop new features for pov3.7 independently, and if they work and
I get green light from the pov-team I can add it to the codebase. Basically
no effort from the pov-team itself is required.

  Basically this kind of testing is free. It doesn't cost anyone anything
(except my own free time, of course).
