Would it make sense to have a common project out of which both are cut from? E.g. tagging some parts of the texmf tree as tetex/minimal and the rest is texlive/maximal? texmf is one of the bigger packages in distros and currently they all try to become Ubuntu-like small. Replacing tetex's texmf with texlive's might make some texnicians happy at first, but almost certainly will make vendors get their machetas out and criple it to only offer the supportive bits they need for creating the distro's documenation. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
