Only FYI.
I suspect pTeX was already updated after my filing bugs
to ptex-base and ptex-bin (#354567, #354569). So pTeX
is now compatible with teTeX3.0
I checked jTeX by myself and I believe it is compatible
with teTeX3.0, at least building went fine.
I don't know yet if pTeX and jTeX are compatible with TeXlive
but I suspect they are. I'll check when I've enough time.
