What's the current plan for POV-Ray code in official parts?  I have been out of

POV-Ray code don't have any chance of getting certified on the parts tracker.
Is this still the case?

I am specifically referring to cases where primitive substitution causes gaps
around curved surfaces.  The ldraw code looks fine in the usual tools (ldraw,
MLCAD, L3Lab), and the extra code makes the parts render without gaps in
POV-Ray.

(...) I agree with Steve on this issue: no POV code in offical parts with the possible exception of primitves. I feel this way for a few reasons: - It could be construed the POV is the Official rendering program of the LDraw.org library. This can (...) (21 years ago, 29-Jul-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
