Comment (by mojca@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 dports@…]:
 > but I can't say I understand what the issues (if any) are with existing
 ptex support in texlive.

 When pTeX package was created, pTeX wasn't even part of TeX Live. I
 suggested removing the pTeX port already in 2011 when there were still
 some issues in TL left. There is a chance that there are still some minor
 "sugars" in Takanori's package to aid the Japanese users (maybe some
 additional map files ...), but he probably knows best what is missing in
 TeX Live if anything.

 My suggestion would be to merge those "sugars" or patches (if any of them
 are still needed) with TL and allow him to co-maintain TL in case that it
 would need some Japanese-related patches now or in future.

 I just wanted to encourage making the changes ...
