If the language changes too much, it wouldn't be POV to me any more.
If I cannot reuse my old models (or if my new ones look radically
different) it isn't the same any more, even if the rendering engine is
the same.

The rendering engine can change internally all it wants. It can
be completely rewritten, it can use different methods (e.g., true
radiosity), I don't care as long as the results are at least as good as
they were before. However, a simple GL program which can read PovScript
would not be POV to me.
