i'm not a programmer either, but i'm curious...

people have voiced thoughts/concerns regarding current materials & nodes remaining compatible [or that's how i've read it]...

there have been a number of systems created by vendors to convert such things in the past. wouldn't something like that be a potential solution to such things, or am i missing something? <---- genuine question asked with no trace of snark, fyi - i'm not terribly techie either in case ya can't tell... heh
