You mean the disabling of the radiosity cache?

I don't have the slightest idea. It quite certainly depends on whether 
and when POV-Ray will embrace stochastic rendering in general. 
Historically and at present, official POV-Ray prefers to avoid random 
noise, but stochastic rendering doesn't fly without.
