Interesting...something is in the ether ;)

In ~two weeks I'll finish with some other assignments and then there

I see that Minimals offer great advantage for those not wanting to taint
their texlive installations as well as those using e.g. ConTeXt/luaTeX
only.

It does not matter. If the newer 'stable' snapshot is broken, it's easy
(in NixOS) to just rollback ;)

Thank you for your work on Minimals. I'll join to help...
