People who want TEX kept should create a task force and feed TEXlive 2008 in rawhide bit by bit, checking for each bit the licensing is ok. That's about the only way the burden of checking TEX can be distributed enough it won't depend on a couple packagers, when the amount of work is too much to be humanly doable by a few people alone in a realistic timeframe. Our curent TEX packaging would be similar to try to package 80% of CPAN in a single source package. Of course people crap out when they try to check licensing correctly (and TEX stuff has more licensing variability than Perl) -- Nicolas Mailhot
