Not any more. In the svn world we have 2 distinct versions of 3rd party
code, the version in $REPO/vendor and the version in src/contrib. The
first is a pristine version, the second is "ours" to do with what we
will. Subversion handles local changes in contrib/ much better than cvs
did, and so there is no reason not to make relevant updates there while
we wait for the patches to be absorbed upstream.
