is tetex needed in core?

[Rui Miguel Seabra]

You mean purging THE publishing system?

OpenOffice.org, GNOME Office, K Office and the likes are for sissies! ;)

Now seriously, TeTeX is quite an important [and big] package.
While maybe not being installed by default would be acceptable, having
to download it is a PITA, and as far as publishing goes, TeX is far, far
superior to anything OpenOffice.org might comeup with.

Simpler too, depending on the PoV of course, and CVS loves .TeX files
way more than .sxw files :)
