I am the maintainer of curl.
The curl patches Björn mentioned are clearly not written in way intended
to be "upstreamable" so they cannot be accepted by the curl project and
nobody has tried to.
I am sure there are many patches like that in OE, they are written,
tested and then forgotten about, our goal here is to not let them get
forgotten.
This said, at least one of the patches fixes a problem that still exists
upstream but the yocto patch [*] is made in such a hard-coded way it'd
have to be seriously edited to get accepted. The flaw has not even been
discussed with or mentioned to the curl project AFAICR...
So, room for improvements!

Daniel,
I think Khem has already said that we are taking incremental steps here,
as I mentioned in my prior email, we have over 1200 patches lurking
around in OE currently, initially we have about 460 as marked as pending.
If you can fix those issues, since we can't address all of them
initially or be experts in all upstreams, we would be very grateful to
remove 1 or 2 more patches.
Thanks for your understanding.
Sau!
