I don't think it makes it obsolete at all. 

They should realize how to "build" a perspective viewer
before they use it as a tool.

It's no different than say learning POLY first
and then using the ARC function for speed and accuracy.
Or learning addition before you learn multiplication. Or
understanding an NAND gate before using a FLIPFLOP.

It's a perfect transition.

In fact many 3D Graphics books start out your building your own
perspective viewer and later switch over to OpenGL or PHIGS which
does all the number crunching for you.
