well, may be you re right.. but
how do you explain the success of others open source projects ?
moreover AFAIK many features of pov3.5 came from patches written by people
not in the povteam, those same people you seem to think they can't bring
anything interesting. Sure, those patches may need some rewrite, better
integration and so on yet i think they definitively help povray to gain more
features the pov-team alone may not have think about
