I've used it a few times myself and it does work well.  The only thing I
seem to always forget, until emerge pukes on my keyboard and reminds me,
file permissions need to be portage:portage.  When I create the patch
file, it is set to root:root and I always forget to change it. 

It does make it easier to fix problems that are patched but not yet
available in the tree.
