I didn't actually realize it (tex2rtf) would be dropped so soon -- that said,
such sure helps define the future .

That's interesting - I believe the commit messages were in-sync up until
the last bump to 593 -- there was no commit for that change. I had thought
this was due to you manually fusing things together just then, but it seems
