I'm not proposing forcing anyone to switch. That's not even what I'm 
asking about. I'm specifically curious why people would expend 
significant effort updating/enhancing the MC environment. If all we're 
talking about is maintaining compatibility with new engines, then 
that's a minimal task and I don't see any reason not to.
