I guess it is of little or no concern if you're not interested in actually getting something done. As a user I'm much more interested in how I can get working tools.

But since I'm not interested in proving my own point – that discussions on the future of *TeX tend to drift somewhere where things don't get done –, I'm stopping this here.
