Not only did Autodesk not update Lagoa, Polygonizer, etc..., but they also cited those tools specifically as reasons to kill Softimage claiming they required 5 developers to maintain those tools plus mental ray per release.

Exactly Mr. Fregtman. The Polygonizer stayed in its initial release at ADSK.
The tremendous work, Eric Mootz did with the Polygonizer to develop it
further and make it a really outstanding work in that area was of no
attention for ADSK. Not to mention the other plugins he developed. ADSK
bought or licensed some of it in an early stage, incorporated it in a giving
software and that's it. Polygonizer was kept in version 1.0 for Softimage by
ADSK.  Same happenend to  Lagoa at version 1.0 as well.
