Gentoo should be close to upstream as much as possible and developers |
| 20 |
are actively encouraged during recruitment sessions to always try to |
| 21 |
upstream their patches. If you think a maintainer deviated from upstream |
| 22 |
for no good reason, well, I would like to think this is an exception |
| 23 |
instead of common practice. |
