I am not talking about what will happen in 10 years of time. I am
talking about what is crippling LaTeX development right now. In
contrast to a change to Omega, a change to e-TeX will not disturb any
existing styles and operation. e-TeX is stable and has been available
for years. Omega isn't stable, isn't documented properly and still
in constant flux.
