Not really Daz will not Destroy backward compatibility with existing content in one fell swoop with Implicit skinning.
Even if they did so their PA's would immediately Embrace to new implicit skinned figures and support them with new content and the Daz users will suck it up and buy it all over again just as they have done with genesis 2 and then genesis 3 content.
Now if Daz does not embrace implicit skinning and poser does??
Well implicit skinning only improves joint deformations it wont suddenly make Pauline more attractive to users or content producers who have to learn the new way to create conformers for these new implicit skinned figures for poser.
assuming SM actually provides some new figure that people will embrace.
Existing poser users will be expected to Discard 11 years of V4 content and whatever they may have bought for Dawn etc. and provide enough buyer support for the new implicit skinned content to make it a worthwhile investment for poser content devs.
..and likely $$pay$$ for the new version of poser that supports implicit skinning
remember Implicit skinning in Blender or even a new version of Daz studio will always be a Free upgrade.
