The only "warning" about media I could find was this from the "What's New
in 3.1" section of the docs:

The keywords halo and atmosphere have been totally eliminated with no
backwards compatibility of any kind provided. They have been replaced
by a new feature called media. At the scene level, media acts as
atmospheric media for fog, haze, dust, etc. On objects, media is not
part of texture like halo was. Object media is now part of a new feature
called interior. Media is not just a rename for halo. It is a new model
with some similar features of halo. BECAUSE POV-Ray 3.1 DISCONTINUES
SOME 3.0 FEATURES YOU MAY WISH TO KEEP 3.0 TO RENDER OLDER SCENES.
