<<TODAY, birds are not classified as reptiles . . .
If dinosaurs are reptiles, do we need to update all the textbooks ASAP?>>

Regardless of any published classifications, reality has birds as the 
closest living relatives of crocodiles and crocs as the closest living 
relatives of birds.  I've not come across any opinion that denies that, 
although there might be somebody somewhere.
