Looks like post-4.0 is the most realistic, though something that worries 
me is this: how long, if ever, will it take after gutting non-opensource 
code to regain similar level of functionality, and with a new SDL, will 
all prior POV data become obsolete and useless?

 From a standpoint of someone who (occasionally) uses Moray 3.5 which 
necessitates use of POV 3.5 at the most, will it be worth my while to 
migrate to a newer version, or will I be relegated to an 
ever-more-obsolete set of tools?
