True. But is latex *really* required to install and run axiom. The answer is no. Are all people' times best spent in installing latex on all machines when the real issue is to test for *axiom* functionnalities? You have to ask yourself how you can best benefit from people's limited time. If you believe that latex is required for Axiom, I must delcare that you have not understood literate programming.
