The point is that tetex has not been maintained since June 2006. There is a difference between KISS and 'keep it old'. As I said, even the stylesheet for lorem ipsum was missing - and google can find a 2005 entry for lipsum.html within tetex-texmf-3.0po.tar.gz so that is not exactly a new addition.
My address is still valid, saves having to unsubscribe and then resubscribe if I change it to whatever my ISP is called this month. Mutt works well and is still maintained. Of course some people hide their mailer's identity - that often makes me think they have something to hide, or else that they are ashamed of what they are using. Actually, I'm offended by slackware's choice of console fonts - at first I thought it only offered latin-1 or C fonts, until I realised that the first few fonts I was offered were .psfu.gz. It is a bit like looking at how LFS/BLFS used to be : "UTF-8 might not work in all applications", but because of that it recommends that 'C' is "safer". FWIW, my own 8x16 font works ok in it. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
