I just submitted a V2 patch.  The title for the upstream section is now 
'upstreaming' in my attempt to concisely describe the act of submitting 
upstream patches.  However, I think the term 'upstream cycle' is also 
correct since 'upstream' describes the 'cycle', and cycle conveys that 
process never ends.

I hope I also addressed Daiane's other concerns adequately.

Thanks

Bob
