Agreed, these are “regular bugs” that should be fixed.

Regarding the “stable” channel, it sounds nice, but again we need
machinery to do automatic merging from master to stable when things are
built (if I remember Julien’s proposal correctly.)   I don’t know, I’m
not entirely sure how this could happen.  :-)

Oh right, definitely something we need for 1.0!  It’s great that you
already started looking at importing more packages from TeXLive, even if
that turns out to be incredibly tricky.  Then we’ll need a profile hook
so people have the option to directly install individual texlive
packages in their profile.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
