On updating Lua

In the past we updated Lua by doing  a vendor import and reapplying our patches.
It's doable, but as you have seen, cvs makes that stuff not strictly easy...

Furthermore I think that we always lack behind, Lua 5.3.3 with 3 bug fixes applied
would be current.

Would it speed up thinks if we just applied the diffs from PUC Rio and commiting
them, leaving out the vendor import dance?  Would that have any negative
side effects?  What do others on tech-userlevel think?
