Probably one year will be enough.

And that's perfectly ok if they need so, because you know you possibly have to change a few names sometimes when you're using something under developement. (And it doesn't mean only LuaTeX: I sometimes have to change my documents in order to make them compile with a newer version of Koma-script, and I accept that. If I don't want to have to worry about it, I use only the standard classes, and I'm happy I have this choice too.) Anyway, I see no reason why luainputenc should stop working with this name if it is later available as inputenc. A package can perfectly have multiple names. > I know it's not 100% stable so users must > know what they're doing, but it still seems more annoying than the > miracle solution for stability... Well, it seems we disagree on what the future will be. In my future, I want to be able to compile utf-8 encoded sources using Unicode fonts without loading some sort of inputenc and making a bunch af character actives. Manuel.
