Re: Reopen RM: multex-base



Hi everybody, 

I haven't seen any MulTeX use in a long time. 
Popcon [1] use is indeed very telling.
I don't mind having this package removed.

Warm regards,

Hi,

MulTeX was developed by Takafumi Sakurai (also the developer of NTT
jTeX) for multilingual typesetting.  According to its official website,
https://www.math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp/~sakurai/software.html, it was actively
maintained until 2009, but is no longer maintained.  MulTeX is no longer
as important as it once was, because there are now multiple multilingual
TeX derivatives.  Therefore, I support the removal of MulTeX.

I sincerely apologise for my delayed response.
