I guess that when it first introduced radiosity was a very experimental feature,
mostly used as a quality add-on (hence the +Q) so people had the possibility to
turn it off and on to "improve" the scene, otherwise they had to put a #if
switch with a flag to control it. One tested the file without radiosity and then
turned it on with +QR in the last stages. Even now I sometimes use +QR to switch
between radiosity or non radiosity versions of the scenes during testing.

However, now that scenes can be entirely and easily designed around radiosity, I
agree that +QR is more a problem than anything else, as already evidenced by the
people who have tried to run some of the advanced scenes without it...
