@irwin It feels that the whole point of this federated system is that if people from group A (old-timers) don't like what people from group B do (newcomers), there's always a way to separate their servers to two weakly connected subnetworks. There may be "old-rite" servers that don't federate with "new-rite" servers, both groups happy. No?

Say, there are servers now that support LaTeX, and those that don't. Maybe that's ok? (Just thinking aloud :)
