[pcgen] does PCGen have a policy on incorporating rules errata into datasets?

 

The recent posts on the Scarred Witch Doctor Archetype lead me to ask:

* What is the policy in PCGen for incorporating the changes brought in
by errata?

I'm considering small scale, restricted rules changes - not anything of
the scope in Pathfinder Unchained.

The errata for the Scarred Witch Doctor include a significant change,
eliminating the paragraph in the 1st edition printing where Con is used
for magic in place of Int, replaced in the 2nd edition printing by a +2
bonus to Int where used for magic.

PCGen datasets are currently coded for the 1st printing.

* Are there (would there be) an intention to update the implementation?

* If you had a character built with the 1st printing rules, could you
carry on using said character when updates came through?
* if your GM was dithering about which rule to use, how might you select
between them?
