At December 2012 I was tested csplain in TeXlive and all formats of
csplain were generated. Thus I wrote OK to Karl Berry (by email) and I
supposed that this is definitive state. This state is documented in my
documentation. Now, an user reprots that may documentation is not true. I
was surprised that somebody changed this state, somebody who is not
csplain user and without talking to me.
