We cannot confuse a specific individual or a specific company with "community". By looking at discussion, voting and affiliation, I would in fact argue that it can be seen as attempt to control the project by a vendor, that runs afoul project independence. I don't see why changes should not be submitted to master as it is done now. Since you already say that only a few changes would be difficult to cherry-pick/port, such cases can be considered as exceptions. Thomas
