Fixing pdfx in TeX Live (maybe upgrade to 2025?)

Hi,

Currently pdfx is broken in TeX Live due to changes in latex. There is a
new version of pdfx out there that fixes the problem which I assume is
included in TeX Live 2025 - any chances to upgrade? Otherwise we could
also patch the existing version.

Until then, adding this to files acts as a workaround:

  \RequirePackage[2024-05-01]{latexrelease}

But this breaks other things, so it's not a real solution.

Thanks & Best
Michael

p.s. this is the error in question:

! LaTeX Error: Loading a class or package in a group.

p.p.s. for now I'm using the hack below, which could be the bare
minimum to include - I could open PR or patch myself.
