xcopy - is there a reason why v 1.5 was not published? (Users)

Hi,
while searching updates for FDT24xx I noticed that xcopy uses version 1.4.
You can find it at:
https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/base/xcopy
history says that the only difference between 1.4 and 1.4a is that a html file was added.

At https://github.com/FDOS/xcopy there is an unpublished and uncompiled version 1.5., see: history.txt,
version 1.4
-----------
version 1.4a
------------
- added xcopy.htm Help file, based on xcopy.txt (Stephan Peters)

version 1.5
-----------
- improved Open Watcom support (utilizes pieces from TCC2WAT), shared.inc


In xcopy.txt you can read:

Compiling the source code
-------------------------
Compiling the source code is possible with the following compilers:
- Borland C++ (tm) 3.0 or higher
- Borland Turbo C++ (tm) 3.0 or higher
Version 1.2 and newer can also be compiled with the now freeware
- Borland Turbo C 2.01 compiler :-)
Version 1.5 and newer
- Open Watcom C/C++ 1.9/2.0pre (includes portions of tcc2wat)

So my question: Is it useful to implement version 1.5 into the future FDT24xx versions?
