Any reason why the TEMPO2 style predictors are required? Note that that paper is not correct that you need the 2D predictions for binary pulsars. That was shown to be incorrect after that paper was published by @demorest and others. The old-style polycos work just fine if you use them correctly (and it turns out that people were often not using them correctly before that paper came out).

I was not aware of this.
I don't think tempo2 predictors are widely supported, and it's not clear to me that there's any reason PINT should support them (if every application also supports TEMPO-style polycos). Can we close this?
tempo-style polycos are already implemented in PINT. Is there any plan to implement tempo2-style predictors in PINT?
