Upstream. Thomas Esser announced a while ago that he no longer had the time to work on it and was abandoning it. I have already created (for my own use) a system-texlive package, and modified a few other packages to use it. Creating texlive would be easy. The real issue would be to ensure that all of the packages that currently depend on [system-]tetex would continue to work. It may be appropriate to modify the set of provided packages.
