Thanks! Yes, better.

I see. Then, we probably cannot have automatic and full backwards
compatibility anyway.

Before we proceed with the merge, I'd like to ping Bastien in case if he
has any objections.

Bastien, this is a breaking change that potentially affects the users
who use custom path to MathJax 2 in their config. Unfortunately, there
is no way to introduce MathJax 3 yet not breaking things for such users.
Is the current news entry is sufficient? Or should we do something in
addition to announce backwards-incompatible change?
