But the name of the project will still be pdfTeX (not pdfeTeX), right?
Good decission.
indeed, let's stay with the historic name (of course it's up to thanh to make the final decission on that);
Sure. Thanh, would you please say the final agreement that pdftex means from now "pdftex with all etex extensions"? (no more pdfetex)
for a while i wondered if calling the binary pdftex would make sense, but then we need to adapt too many manuals, tools, etc;
Hans, thanks for pointing that. It just means that we have to change at least fmtutil.cnf and make some cosmetic changes is some documentation. I vote for doing that. It is much more easy to explain (especially for the newbees) that pdftex is just an extension which incorporates also all etex things. -- Staszek Wawrykiewicz StaW@gust.org.pl
