Primavera has announced that no more P3 enhancement 3 years ago (I remember the announcement is in User Conference).
They move our expectations on P3 to PEC. For scheduling management skill set, software is tool only, either P3 or PEC is just help us the daily managing job.
On software skill set, PEC is far more complicated than P3, we need more concept on database, enterprise, etc. This is not only happen to Primavera, also to other software package, like Office 2003 is named Office 2003 System not software, Project 2003 need to work with Project Server 2003, Powerproject and OpenPlan move from standalone to enterprise, etc.

Primavera is not going to change anymore in P3 version. The lifecycle / versioning of this product is stopped. Primavera is encouraging customers to upgrade their versions from P3 to P3enterprise. I think all planners/schedulers should start looking at P3e (enterprise features), though basic scheduling techniques are same in both products.
It is still fine to use P3 for smaller and less number of projects.
