[tex-live] [tldistro] Supporting old releases: Using LaTeX after more than 5 years

[Karl Berry]

    Therefore I suggest to patch fmtutil's error detection mechanism and add
    a special case for LaTeX's 5-year-warning. 

I didn't know/had forgotten LaTeX had such a warning.

    Should I write such a patch, would it be accepted?

Yes.

Thanks,
Karl
