Note the word "successor" being used twice. Good news, I think. Formerly, in the discussion previous to the meeting in Tsukuba, Omega was only *another* possibility, even in your messages. (In other words, I didn't misinterpret the Robin's opinion as the team's opinion, I just included a "deprecated" opinion ;-) ) Now Omega is the main candidate (if the suggested improvements are fulfilled in a successor, of course) by far. >> I think exactly the opposite -- Omega will give live to LaTeX while >> "old" TeX will be a burden. > > i agree with you here, but only if Omega changes to a more "stable and final" > product, something which, for good reasons, it currently isn't.
