Well, there's an ironic thought! But could I point out that this *is* the
LaTeX-3 list, *not* the LaTeX-2e list?

As a LaTeX-3 job, I should think disentangling the 2.09 code was a priority.
Anyway, the same code is in LaTeX-2e, so what is the problem? I am certainly
in favour of disentangling this code and keeping compatibility with 2.09 as a
first step towards 3.
