It isn't to me, but it is for some people. I would rather see old
versions of POV used to handle old POV code, than trying to make a new
version of POV bend over backwards and parse legacy code. It usually
isn't that hard to update a POV scene to fit a revised syntax. With
the exception of halos, the feature set only seems to grow, never
shrink. Even in the case of halos, there are work-arounds.
