As is shown by the ACCESS renderer on the Kobo ereaders being able to display an epub2 file simply by renaming it to .kepub.epub, an epub3 compliant renderer is able to display epub2 ebooks. Given that money and developer time are finite resources, Kobo is likely to feel that they are better served by concentrating on the future. The only good reason I see for Kobo keeping the Adobe RMSDK code in place is to handle Adept DRMed books either purchased or through a library loan.
