Hi. Is update of ESP Ghostscript to GNU Ghostscript 8.01 planned?

,,With the increasing number of Linux distributions shipping, or considering shipping CUPS as their standard printing system, we have had many requests to provide patches to the standard GNU Ghostscript source distribution so that they can ship a single version of Ghostscript.''

It seems that patches would be better than providing whole ghostscript - easier to update for new versions of gnu ghostscripts.
