No, there is no relation. Newer utilities only have fixes and checks the previous versions might not have. These are the same utilities that have been used under Irix for years so they have been well developed. With the introduction of the new ACL interface and the XFS 1.1 release you will need the 2.0+ userspace utilities to correctly use te ACL support.
