I agree with you that stability is important, and I plan to update Fink's
teTeX rather infrequently.

There were lots of good reasons for updating right now however, to the new
teTeX 2.0 upstream release.  Perhaps the main one is that the licensing issues
have finally been sorted out, so that we will be able to release teTeX in
binary form now (which was not possible in the past).
It certainly wasn't my intention to criticize your big update to tetex-2.0. This was necessary and is a good thing.

But in the past almost every new revision made me lose some time to get everything working as before. For example, the dvips default settings for voffset were changing several times. Each time I had to adjust my personal letter style so that the letterhead was printed correctly. Another case happened on a powerbook where someone had upgraded GW's tetex just before I took it to go to a conference. My slides suddenly were all upside down...
