Hello, Jeff,

I don’t think anybody expects you to. I believe, lout is one of
the closest projects I know about which is close to that elusive
state of being complete, probably not on the level of TeX Π (is
it the capital Π or the lower-case π?), but pretty close to it,
I would say. However, it doesn’t mean that it is completely
perfect.

For example, I would love if at least the security bugs were
covered.  There are still CVE-2019-19917 [1] and CVE-2019-19918
[2], which both should be fixed by the suggested patch attached
to the message by William Bader [3] (I can repost this patch to
the list for your review).

There are some other patches collected by William in [4], but
they are either really nits (e.g. [5]) or exactly (like my patch)
dealing with the logistics of operations.

Would you consider including those?

Best,

Matěj
