OK!  I've reviewed what's in wip-texlive, and it LGTM!  Feel free to
rebase the branch on top of version-1.4.0 and then merge into it.  I
don't intend to rewrite the branch at this point, so we can collaborate
on it.

The CI hasn't yet been switched on to build the branch yet; let's give a
bit more time for other changes like this to have a chance to be
considered/merged and then switch it on!  Perhaps Wednesday.

Thank you!

Maxim
