What makes you think it's not up-to-date? (Other than some TL version 
strings, I imagine this is the same code as in TL, etc.) That said, I'd 
likely look to send a patch in the first instance to TL, as it tends to 
be the place that any changes actually happen.

I think both to keep them in line with each other.

Yes, they are there for humans to understand what's going on.

What changes are you considering suggesting?
