Well, if you are lucky enough to have a static presentation that will
cover the past and present as well as the future, fine. But most of mine
are templates that incorporate the latest set of numbers: the old pdf
will not cut it. I suspect that most people do something similar at
least some of the time. It is then that that (mostly forgotten) update
from a couple of weeks ago that broke backwards compatibility will bite.

It's a matter of perspective: I don't expect org to replace latex
(but I realize that some people do).
