It was a DEC decision to 'kill' TECO a long way back (VMS V4.0, I think), so
it won't be coming back in a hurry.  Pity really, in what other editor can you
type in your name as a command and see what happened.

Seriously, DEC are committed to promoting TPU which has almost all the
possibilities of good ol' TECO like editing a buffer, then using it as a
command upon itself.  But, somehow, it's just not the same ...
