There you go.
I don't have an objection to that. I'm fine with PDF, so long as people are encouraged to make them in multiple sizes.

I just didn't see what the objection was to doing it the other way. Calling it "yet another format" isn't quite fair. All the other formats out there can easily be converted to .tex.
