We definitely should make another release, but there's no specific plan
or time frame for that yet.  Meanwhile, can PTS be updated to apply the
patch you referenced above, or (better yet) to use our git tree (can use
a specific revision as necessary for consistency between benchmarks)?
Perhaps you can make a pull request to PTS with one of these changes?
We'd appreciate that.

Thanks,

Alexander
