Is it deliberate that sysutils/u-boot-tools is not updated when u-boot-master (and company) progress?

sysutils/u-boot-tools is still back at 2020.07 :

Commit message (Expand)	Author	Age	Files	Lines
* 	Remove # $FreeBSD$ from Makefiles.	Mathieu Arnold	34 hours	1	-1/+0
* 	u-boot: Update to 2020.07	Emmanuel Vadot	2020-07-08	3	-14/+4
. . .

But there have been 2020.10 and 2021.04 updates since then:

Commit message (Expand)	Author	Age	Files	Lines
* 	sysutils/u-boot-*: Update to 2021.04	Emmanuel Vadot	16 hours	2	-5/+6
. . .
* 	sysutils/u-boot-*: Update to 2020.10	Emmanuel Vadot	2020-11-07	3	-4/+35
. . .
* 	u-boot: Update to 2020.07	Emmanuel Vadot	2020-07-08	3	-34/+5

I'll note that u-boot-master has:

BUILD_DEPENDS+=	gsed:textproc/gsed \
		. . .
		mkimage:sysutils/u-boot-tools \
		. . .

and u-boot-tools has:

DISTVERSION=	2020.07

This may well be just fine, such as if using somewhat older versions
of u-boot-tools has historically been more stable despite version
mismatches. But I figured I'd ask:

Is the use of the older u-boot-tools deliberate?
