re: Yes, I think that if we end up with an interactive ray tracing API, it will
be in addition to the current standards and will not replace them.

Does this have to be an either/or situation? Couldn't there be a ray trace architecture that also supports legacy well? If you have a many core system, couldn't some of those cores support other types of imaging?
