I quite agree. Even the author of teTeX says it shouldn't be used anymore.
Now that we have TeX Live for FreeBSD thanks to Hiroki-san's efforts, I'd
say it's time to move away from teTeX for good. It has served us well for
the time being, but has really gotten obsolete.

@bapt: If there's anything specific that needs to be done to make this
transition happen, feel free to ask and I'll see what I can do.
