Well, I think people will not migrate to TeXLive completely, and we can
as well have an up-to-date pdfTeX in the teTeX packages. Yes, if it
works correctly, we probably should include it.
It's not trivial, though. The pdfTex sources compile fine on a system
with teTeX-3.0, but the build system is from TeXLive. Therefore it's
not trivial to integrate it into the teTeX source tree, especially since
I don't know much about change files, intermediate pascal etc.pp. An
opportunity to learn it...
