The part of me that remembers the pain of trying to make syntax highlighting 
work with both pdfTeX and XeTeX disagrees strongly.

Note that I personally haven’t objected to declaring LuaTeX supported. I do 
object to keeping XeTeX in that case. It will be used neither in CI, nor for 
the releases, nor by contributors locally (except if they have a setting for 
that in their environment, in which case, IMHO, they are shooting themselves in 
the foot and should stop doing that). So it will just carry a maintenance 
burden with almost no value.
