Good. But what's when upstream doesnt apply it in next release ?
That's exactly, why I started the oss-qm project several 
years ago.

Keeping patches for just an specific version (assuming they're
obsoleted by next release) is no problem, but as soon as if you
have to keep them across multiple releases (or at least don't 
know if you have to), it soon gets work-intensive. That's one of
the things, the rebase operation is good for.

For most cases, there's not much to do when using a proper 
vcs like git. (man git-rebase) ;-p
