Re: Contributions to LaTeX-core

Thank you for your interest in supporting LaTEX, however note that the
everyshi package is obsoleted  now by the built in hook code so you should
not need to load it in new documents.
LaTeX also keeps track of the number of pages shipped out, see

texdoc ltshipout-doc

in particular the commands \ReadonlyShipoutCounter and \PreviousTotalPages
and the LaTeX counter totalpages
should be of interest,
