Is it intended that such necessary fixes will be included in the packages or in the kernel, or will the fixes have to be provided in separate packages? For reference, it is the second comment to this answer: http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/17265/compilation-problem-extended-mathchar-used-as-mathchar-with-mathastext/17280#17280 Philipp
