It may be not settled yet, but my impression was that sourceware
dejagnu/expect/tcl were to be removed pretty soon, no? If it is going
to be removed, then I would rather be in favor of requiring a version
of T+E+D that would allow quantifiers like ``{1,2}''.
So far, I was mostly annoyed by the decision to remove these sources
from src, especially with the little deadline that was initially
announced. But I must say that if I had to choose between the invenience
of disallowing ``{1,2}'' and the inconvenience of having to use a
(recent-enough) released version of TED, I'd rather go to a recent TED.
