Apparently it does because you didn't do it right.  Supporting something 
that's broken from the past should be an option which can be chosen, not 
forced onto the user as gospel.

A couple years ago while I was still beta testing XSI, I reported a bunch of 
bugs related to the crop and resize nodes.  You said they'd be fixed at the 
time. Knowing I'd need those scenes in the future, I planned ahead by 
setting up the FXTree properly so that when the bugs got fixed, the scenes 
would automatically inherit the bug fixes and just 'work'.  However, under 
this 'legacy' support you've implemented, you've now invalidated all my 
scenes because if I bring them into a current version of XSI, they still 
won't work properly because of all the retro intentional breakage forced 
upon them.  How does that help?  Basically you're telling me that even 
though I did the right thing by planning ahead, I still have to rebuild my 
scenes from scratch to get proper functionality.  Gee, thanks.
