We understand the lack of upstreaming hence the process of documenting
the patches with Upstream-Status
was put in place. So step by step we are getting there where we will
be able to interact with upstream projects
on the patches we carry. The first step it to account for them which
we did. Next step
would be to interact with respective upstream projects and propose the
patches or describe
the problems if they are to be fixed differently.
