It may be not settled yet, but my impression was that sourceware dejagnu/expect/tcl were to be removed pretty soon, no? If it is going to be removed, then I would rather be in favor of requiring a version of T+E+D that would allow quantifiers like ``{1,2}''. So far, I was mostly annoyed by the decision to remove these sources from src, especially with the little deadline that was initially announced. But I must say that if I had to choose between the invenience of disallowing ``{1,2}'' and the inconvenience of having to use a (recent-enough) released version of TED, I'd rather go to a recent TED. -- Joel
