ah, okay. Still, not taking one's time to properly upstream a fix is usually motivated by commercial constraints; it's just not malicious ;)

With the notable exception of Debian, they are wonderful, and push their stuff upstream to me very well, as does Fedora. Those two are the best, everyone else is bad, with some much worse than others.

No, it's usually the non-commercial (i.e. no corporate backing) that are the worse offenders.
