Great. PG wouldn't stop being available; they would just use the latest-released tag. There hasn't been much progress on the generic side for a while. >> If we can, I think it would be good to use it, actually :) What do >> you mean by leaving CoqIDE in the cold? > > If coqtop works with s-expressions, is the ability to use XML > maintained?

Emilio's S-Expressions are built on top of Enrico's Stm, so it isn't really two separate parts.
