Yes.

No, not AFAIK.  I made the ports of the two last versions that were
released to SimTel.NET, but I no longer have time to port the new
versions.

The changes are very minor; TeX is not really developed, only the
wrapper programs and marginal features are added/changed.  The current
ports are entirely satisfactory for what they are used; I personally
use them in my everyday work and have yet to see a single problem.

In other words, I don't think the DJGPP community loses something
significant due to our use of old versions.  But if sopmeone wants to
work on porting newer versions, please feel free to do so.
