  Something which would benefit no-one. Developement would be slower
(because there would be far less testers), the amount of work for the
developers would be larger, the amount of uncaught bugs in the release
version would inevitably be much higher, and the community would be unable
to participate in testing the upcoming new version.

  Thus stop complaining about the expiration date, and instead be grateful
that you can beta-test the new version and give your support for making
POV-Ray a better program. This should be a joint effort.
