Recent versions seems to have some bugs, but I feel it is stable enough.What I think bad about the current packaging is some commands in tetex-bin really depends on tetex-extra, but it is not mentioned clearly.

I am not sure but if the reason that pdf*tex were in tetex-extra is that they were not standard enough then they might be standard enough alredy. If the reason is that they are not stable enough or so then I cannot tell it is good or not to move pdf*tex to tetex-bin.
