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. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
