To make the story short it looks like that for the ES2022 standards Allen Wirfs-Brock will prepare the PDF versions. It will take for Allen about one week after the final html versions are available from the Editors. It will be a nice "PDF" format, but a "one time" solution for 2022. For a solution for 2023 and beyond we suggest to have a follow up project. Allen is proposing a nice strategy for that, that we have to present it in more details and agree on it. But that is for later. Until June 2023 there is still one year to go...

I wish they would've just let us solve this problem for them...

i am okay with a world where we just do nothing about and have no consideration for the pdf version

whatever anyone else wants to do, good luck, but no support from us

if it continues to be that way in perpetuity, fine, but I hate kicking the can down the road if it's going to come back to us some day

Allen is responsible for our archival processes I believe?
