Based on the current state of things it seems like there is probably no reason to rebuild the engine

based on current number of changes, a 0.54.1 would probably be a bit of a lie as we're far from having only bug fixes or minor improvements. There are new commands and bots moves fare better while maybe they'll stop being incredibly stupid or OP as in 0.54.0.
