I don't think SL forces anyone to do anything. I'd say the same for most places. -
Oh hell yes! -- Pet Delights!

What improvements would you make to Second Life...water?
Just to mention that a lot of avatar "interaction" with Linden water doesn't involve actual contact between the simulator's representation of the avatar (the "agent") and the water volume, but rather is the viewer's representation of the animated avatar intersecting with the water. Almost all diveboards, for example, do not move the agent into the water at all, but rather merely animate them to appear as if they're in the water, many meters below the agent's position. So for any of these special water properties to appear when diving (for example), those animations (and scripts) would need to change so the physical agent moves and comes in contact with the fancy new water.
