It works for small changes. But as soon as you implement something bigger, you pull changes from upstream, and have to resolve conflicts which pop up all over the place. This requires a lot of tedious manual work, *and* is very likely to lead to bugs, unless you know the codebase and understand upstream changes in detail. If you satisfy those requirements, then it's natural to want to fix things that you notice are wrong. But you can't.

So it's reasonable only if you limit yourself to small fixes here and there. Otherwise, it's just not worth the pain.
