forget about dvips, as far as i know, pdftex things made it back into dvips, so that can happen again this time; let's not carry the burden from the past
I am not aware of many things that dvips has taken over from pdftex. The only thing I know is the font subsetting module which origins from dvips. It was improved for pdftex and put back into dvips. Clearly, this was painless for dvips.
right, i was indeed refering to this part
As for other new stuff, I suggest that you don't just assume that dvips will follow everything. Better get in touch with Tomas Rokicki before doing that.
i'm not that familiar with dvips; how different are the map files?
