Where did the RT-compounds go?

[Hirazi Blue]

As the good folks of Softimage implemented the mechanism to create easily-shareable compounds not only for it's shiniest new toy ICE, but also for the Render Tree, I am surprised the sharing of RT-compounds hasn't taken off in a similar, albeit obviously less intensive way. So why didn't this happen?

Maybe because I think ( and maybe others too) thats its just a really great way to minimize the working space once you have parts done and tested. Or maybe there was this thing called ICE?

Who knows such things?
