it's not like we suddenly have these tools, at least tex has been around 
for a while; so governments suddenly 'becoming aware' always makes me 
wonder (they jo-jo anyway between solutions)

even if e.g. luatex is used in some places that doesn't mean that it 
translates in interest (or dev support) ... it's seen as a given

that said: given the current political landcape and how it evolves (just 
look at various european elections) i wonder if i should even look at 
all these initiatives and policies .. in the end it's also (either or 
not national) big-tech that benefits most from this, not those who 
invested their 'free' time in development etc on the long term 
tex-timescale

just look at history (over your own lifetime) ... how long will that UA 
stuff last (it is already a mess)

think of it like this: if we could do something 10 years ago, and no one 
was interested, why take interest serious now

using tex is very much about persistence, individual interest in control 
and quality over typesetting, to some extend (single users, few person 
orgaizations) involvement, curiosity, experimenting, adapting, so that 
is what we should focus on

anyone could slap together something like that ... tex has been around 
for ages and always kind of adapted ... all that wrapper stuff and these 
fashions come and go ... different worlds imo
