for the same reason we don't have pdfplain.tex and so on: maintenance of the result. in the unlikely event that don corrects a bug in plain, each conglomerate plain package would have to be updated. with the existing setup, the correction happens automatically (ctan and packaging updates happen [almost] automatically). note that we *have* had a plain correction since pdftex hit the streets, so the hypothesis isn't entirely fanciful. robin
