XeTeX may well be "at end of life", Herb, but it continues to do all 
that I want or (ever expect to) need.  Were LuaTeX to offer the same 
degree of compatibility with Knuth’s TeX as does XeTeX, I would switch 
to it willingly, but all the while it deliberately chooses to differ 
from Knuth’s TeX in totally fundamental ways (e.g., the omission of the 
\mag primitive), I will continue to regard it as a non-starter.
