Sorry, I was sure that I had posted this to the list, but I can't find
the mail, and maybe it was in a private conversation with Norbert.

I also know from him privately and from people who know him in person
that maintaining teTex has caused him lots of work on weekends before
the 3.0 release, work which he just can't do again currently. On the
other hand, he's still an active contributor to TeXlive which took all
the fine infrastructure scripts he originally developed for teTeX.
Therefore, yes, I'm not sure, but I fear that there will be no teTeX 3.1
or 4.0.
