Update multimedia/xfce4-parole or not?

Hi folks,

New stable version of Parole has been published today, but it depends
of development library (libxfce4ui 4.11.0).

I wonder if these ports need to be in ports tree or we must wait.

This release brings lot of changes:
- Use Gtk+3 only
- Use symbolic icons
- GStreamer 1.0 API is set by default

I track down Parole's development since 0.5.90. I got patches to keep
generic icons (it's GNOME team which is in charge of
gnome-icons-theme).
Besides I maintain Gtk2 / Gtk3 themes, so almost all is in place.
Except we need use unstable releases of libxfce4ui and especially
xfce4-settings.

If someone is interesting I wrote documentation to update Parole player [1].
