On that subject, I think that the best way to go is first to improve the TEXINFO_XS=requiredifenabled such that it can be set for tests. That would remove most if not all ambiguity on the code used. This will have to wait for the next release. Once this is done, we could think again whether we want to give some information somewhere. -- Pat
