JDE package update?

I've looked in the latest version of xemacs-packages from CVS and it appears XEmacs is using an old version of JDE, 2.1.9. The current version is 2.2.6 and has major improvements over the old one. However it appears there are some portability problems with 2.2.6 on XEmacs, that could be fixed using some patches posted on the JDE mailing list by various people. Thus I expect the next version of JDE 2.2.7 to have better support for XEmacs. Should we care to update the JDE package once this version is out? The reason I'm asking is because the XSLT-process mode depends on some functionality implemented in the 2.2.x version of beanshell.el. We could either update this file only and keep the rest of JDE unmodified, or update JDE entirely. The later may not be too stable though as JDE is still work in progress. Any thoughts?
