I asked because we will adopt the 5.2 stable branch for our science students
(4.3 now) and since we have custom documentations and workarounds we don't want
to change version each year. Maybe I could push 5.3 even if not stable, but we
will stick to that version for a while after. The default lower greek italic
would had been a good feature for us. Also, if it does nothing for existing
formulas, the change would not break anything. However, I don't have the full
picture and will respect the decision.

Yes, but I'm on 5.1.4.2 right now. I will upgrade to 5.2 and it should be ok.
