As far as i'm concerned the patches do not irritate me - why should they? (I dont find them upstream acceptable in their current form but hey, most of my own feature patches are not acceptable in their initial form either ;-)
"Staying low" is the worst possibly strategy if you want to improve the upstream kernel. Engaging in the process and listening to upstream feedback and acting on suggestions is important.
