If this is going > to break an existing package then there is no way we can accept it. If you look at it that way, tetex-beta should have been removed a long time ago. It needs a rebuild for certain executables, which has nothing to do with this texmf package. (Texmf is platform independent.) In fact, tetex-beta has been fairly useless (IMHO) because it lacks a texmf tree, that the user was supposed to provide. We've been waiting for a long time for the tetex-beta maintainer to provide the missing texmf package. Now that he said he wasn't planning to provide it at all, I've asked around if a texmf package would be welcomed (and subsequently spent quite some time on it). Note that for most normal use (running tex/latex) it will work fine. Providing a broken package is no use to me. I don't even have a windows machine; this is only for [our] windows users.
