No question mark about it.  XUpdate has been available as a utility to 
4Suite users since version 0.11.0.  In 4Suite 0.12.0 (ETA mid-December), 
it has moved to an even fundamental architectural role: pretty much all 
low-level repository updates are expressed using XUpdate (restricted to a 
streamable subset of XPath for performance).
