I wasn't saying "backwards compatibility" is a con, just making a statement
about general industry trends.
The industry has always been averse to Backwards comp. cause its more work

Yet the path for us is not clear yet. Maya looks like its headed in the
right direction, I am hopeful.

Er...cough...at Axis Animation now, working between Maya and Houdini,
pipeline etc... but yes, Softimage is the Soul Mate of the 3d world, so if
things don't work out here, I would be interested in looking back into
Soft. Although mind you, loving the Houdini side.

Just in case you need one. :)
I plan on using Softimage for at least 5 more years, or until

my projects done so quickly with great results.

USD != Alembic.
USD = Universal Scene Description. It's a format to describe a scene and
what assets, versions, etc to be included in a scene. Also different takes
/ passes etc. Also it has ways of having overrides on practically any
parameter of the scene.
In a USD you can reference Alembic File

I must have missed that part of business school where they taught us that
discontinuing a product without offering a reasonable alternative
is a viable strategy to gain market share.
Must've been the buying price of 70 million for Soft vs the 2 billion for Maya
that made a difference?
