</span>Currently, there are more than 500 binaries in the TeXLive distribution. There is a reason for all these binaries.<br>
However, this makes things very complex and there is no reason to add complexity.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>IMO one common source instead of three separate sources reduces complexity. If you have several babels and you wish to correct something, you have to apply the same correction manually several times, the same way in all relevant files. If you have a single source, you do it just once and everything will be built automatically. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
