It would be nice to have it, however it's not yet in a state to /replace/ teTeX. So far it's only an alternative. I'd still have to make a real conflicts test and take care of the most common teTeX depending ports in a way that doesn't cause the entire texlive-texmf to be pulled in as a dependency. I won't be able to work on this sooner than 1 month from now. -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
