Yes, I'm planning for a shorewall update to latest stable after
Bering-uClibc 4.2 has been released/tagged, which will be done over the
weekend.
It worked well in the past to be a bit conservative updating to newer
shorewall versions, and we usually don't include major updates in the
late release cycle (rc1), if it's not for fixing annoying bugs.

shorewall 4.5 is also a special case, cause it seems to require a more
or less complete rework of the shorewall packages, so it will need more
time and testing.

You can update with "apkg -u", but I confess, I've overlooked the update
option cause apkg -u just worked, even before shorewall update has been
introduced. Anyway I do see that shorewall update will do a much better
job now regarding shorewall updates.
So yes, if it's possibly to add the necessary files (.annotated) with a
seperate package to get the shorewall update command working, it will be
a welcome improvement.
