That's up to the maintainers, but it's fairly easy to ignore patches from given sources however often they are repeated. There's a lot of wrong patches that keep getting repeated ... My own take is that the value would be marginal if all the patches were correct, but they could be applied with minimal effort using patch automation. Once you have to verify correctness of each patch, I don't think the tracking and verification effort is worth the marginal improvement, but that's a maintainer call. Regards, James
