+The team have also worked with the \XeTeX{} and (u)p\TeX{} developers to
+standardise the set of post-\eTeX{} utility primitives that are available: the
+so-called \enquote{\hologo{pdfTeX} utilities}. These are now available in all
+supported engine, and in time will all be \emph{required}. This primarily
+impacts \hologo{XeTeX}, which gained most of these primitives in the 2019
+\TeX{} Live cycle. (Examples are the random number primitives and expandable
+file data provision.) See \emph{\LaTeX{} News~31} for more on this.
