But what about the non-web2c implementations (BaKoMa?) and the commercial distributors? None of the commercials seem to offer eTeX. Do you propose to make LaTeX eTeX-aware (i.e. use it's features when running eTeX and program without them in TeX [which would double the developement and maintenance]) or should it focus exclusively on eTeX?
