Evolution of the Shaastras

The dharmashaastras seem to have stopped evolving further into our times,after probably Paraasharasmriti, guiding us along the temporal needs and exigencies of life as obtaining at present.
Thus we at times feel bewildered by the prescriptions of the old shaastras notwithstanding the perennial gems of wisdom they contain.
Those who are moved by the lofty ideals of lokasangraha ought to take the lead in composing a dharmashaastra befitting our times for sacred and profane conduct.
