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).
