If the patches are technically correct and don't break the rest of the platforms, I don't see why we shouldn't accept them upstream. If the patch is large, then the patch must come with a promise of maintenance as well. We would require the same of any other port or large modification. In fact, we do require that of our QNX/BB10 friends and it's being required of the Android and iOS ports too. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center
