How about people who have some spare computer they want to use to run 
POV-Ray renders, and choose to install neither XP or newer (because the 
computer might be too slow, or they might want to save money on a 
license and re-use some old Win98 license for that purpose), nor Linux 
(because they don't grok it well enough)?

I'm not saying breaking compatibility would be a horribly dear price to 
pay /per se/, but I think /this/ particular issue is not worth paying it.
