It should be remembered that the first version of Reaper is only about as old as Cubase 4 is - I think Reaper 1 was released less than three years ago. And Cubase 5 IS backwards compatible with C4...
Don't know about the extent of Logic's or Sonar's backwards compatibility, but at least with ProTools I've had some very annoying experiences. Once I had done the full editing for a short film on a not-so-old PT version. Then, when we tried to export it into a (marginally) newer version of PT in a bigger studio, all the automation I had done was just missing...nice...
After that I've never trusted my work to the hands of backwards compatibility, and rely mostly on basic WAVs for transfer purposes.

Why Steiny/Yamama are stubborn? They always sometimes make "stupid backward" decisions that do not make any sense but that's just Steiny. I guess they did stop the backward possibility in their latest update for "money" reasons, to get you update to their latest thats all! I don't see any other reason. If other companies are able to make it possible to backward, i don't see why Steinymama can't!!
Ohhh well!!!!
