there is a use case, and i have used it, so i will raise a counter comment for POI to retain running calculations:
i had a project where i built a harness to load an excel spreadsheet and then exercise it as a system of record. if POI were to lose the ability to perform that function, it would be a loss for that use case. i do accept that it is an exotic case, but i'd wager it is not the only one. as a side note, some thought could be given to (if it were deemed necessary to go down this route) providing a contract layer so that existing functionality could be retained as an extension library. the current implementation allows for runtime patching of the execution engine (i had to use this for a missing function before PJF accepted a PR from me sometime ago), so there is a minimal contract in place already.
