When you speak of resource perspective are you referring to downstream
resources or upstream resources because the former does not matter just the
latter...
Both matter.
I disagree and require further explanation from you since I question the
current thought of upstream role in downstream distributions after
exploring the communities surrounding both to better understand the eco
system of thoughts and the effects of those thoughts that residing in
both of them.
The conclusion after that exploration of thought is that the role of
upstream in downstream distributions should be a role of an consultant
for upstream application or application stack him or her is developing
and if time allows become a co-maintainer for a completely different
application or application stack ( outside their "comfort zone" ) then
what he or she is developing in the community for the distribution he or
she uses.
In other much simpler words upstream maintainers are distracted from
what they do best which is working on their code by maintaining their
component in downstream distribution and that distraction is not helpful
to end user, not helpful for those us in QA and does not expand those
maintainers as individuals.
The more time the maintainer has to focus on his code the better we and
other downstream distribution are as an result of that.
