That may be my fault: we've discussed this with Ezequiel on IRC, and
from what I understood, it looked he was askign why we were not using an
upstream version.
So, I replied that we can use upstream, of course, if upstream has the
necessary support.
Maybe I was not clear enough: we can use upstream, but a fixed version,
of course.
If 2013.10 is too old, you can bump (e.g. to 2015.10 or whatever, even a
sha1 from the git tree if necessary). But that should be a fixed
version, indeed.
Sorry for the confusion... :-/

Yann E. MORIN.
