I am not sure you are counting that since I am talking only about a
company internal distribution but in fact we do in our company use
those patches. I don't see a reason to leave the valuable but
typically low-risk patches on the release/maintenance branches out
unless we talk about other projects with bad change management on
maintenance branches. So, you might not count my statement here since
I am not talking about a publicly available distribution but you asked
for feedback.
