I asked Michael about adoption of texjive already about month ago and got this reply: <snip> Due to increased work, a book I'm writing, and a new hobby (snake breeding) - I've pretty much decided to just be a user for awhile (of both Fedora and LaTeX) so that tex packaging I was looking into - I'm not updating what's there anymore, it's dead. </snip> So I asked about the texjive project adoption: <snip> > Would you mind if I eventually base the new texlive packaging on your > texjive project? Go ahead. I've no problems with it at all if it is of value. </snip> So I decided to base the texlive packaging on the Michael's work and the packages should enter the review process shortly.
