Hi,
I was checking which changes had been landed to the main branch as the
result of Ihor's work and I noticed a commit unrelated to my initial
curiosity but that might be questionable:
commit 15d25644cc8d88fd5cd0ad53caedaedad3635d8d
author TEC Sat Jan 22 20:41:55 2022 +0800
org-entities: Change \minus to -
* lisp/org-entities.el: The LaTeX command \minus doesn't exist, but a
hyphen in math mode produces a minus symbol.

Should it be "\textminus" instead? I never used it but my expectation
that it was added for text mode outside of equations: \minus1. It
required \usepackage{textcomp} in the past, but it seems it is not the
issue any more, so the symbol is available out of the box. I was not
following that changes in LaTeX so I may miss something.
