I don't think that's relevant for me. All jadetex is produced by
OpenJade or Jade.

Well, rather than calling it 'etex', at that point, it would just be
the 'tex' command, right?
I don't know that I wanna switch everything to use etex/pdfetex now
and then have to switch back later.

Special formats? I simply check that the memory dumps are generated,
and that memory dumps for any required packages are present.
In a nutshell:
kpsewhich latex.fmt
kpsewhich pdftex.fmt
kpsewhich pdflatex.fmt
Is there anything wrong or buggy in doing this?
Unless the tetex maintainers tell me I really ought to change from tex
to etex at this point in the freeze, I'd rather leave it as it is.
