Doing a grep on /usr/local/texlive/2018/texmf-dist/tex/, I see \expanded is used in a couple oberdiek packages, context, and mathspec. I did not try to figure out if the mathspec usage is compatible. It might be worth notifying its author at some point as a courtesy. FWIW ...
context always had \expanded, \unexpanded and \protected macros so when etex showed up we could not use the primitives as such; this is why we use \normal* when needed (in fact context had the \unexpanded prefix for macro definitions that behaved like \protected in etex which makes it even more confusing) .. in practice it has never been a problem because there is not much code shared with other macro packages so users don't run into it .. so no need to worry Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
