BTW for the record I am not philosophically opposed to trying ease the transition to newer systems with as much backwards compatibility as possible.
what I find grating is that anyone
would implement a new rendering system that has
known ,existing capabilities
but Cull or cripple some parts of it for the sake of the very legacy feature upon which you are trying to improve...rendering.
Imagine the outrage If Daz had the option of giving users "geografting" and "Autofit" in the genesis figures developmental stage
But ultimately removed these features because it was interfering with the ability to use Vicky 4's UV's ...for the sake of "backwards compatibility".
Traditionally when you add new functionality to an existing system
you alter the existing system to accept the new functionality
If you destroy some the the new functionality for the sake of not
upsetting the end users of the new system.
You Defeat the purpose entirely IMHO.
