I don't think that's the same thing. If Microsoft came out with a newer version of silverlight, you'd expect it to keep reading the old files.
The fact they canceled silverlight and won't make a new version, doesn't have much to do with backwards compatibility.

Did anyone expect it to? Perhaps if it had seen the same interest from developers that other products have, it would have been supported longer...
