I think it's a fine idea; the reason something like this hasn't happened
is the people able to make changes to fink don't know anything about
TeX, and vice-versa, so we were never able to find anyone who could
really step up and *understand* it end-to-end.

As long as someone's willing to own it (as opposed to just maintaining
it) we might as well clean up the tex mess...
