It will obviously be easier for all packagers to have easilly accessible
patches instead of having to backport them from the trunk :). It might be
better though to just get a new release out every lets say a couple of
weeks if any such patches are available to avoid confusing situations
where fedora is at 3.1.n + patch{1,2,4}, debian at 3.1.n + patch{1,3,4} etc.
Both options require the same amount of time spend in my part so I don't
have a strong preference either way.

Cheers,
Kostas
