Red Hat has a long-standing policy of first merging the patches upstream, only then shipping them in RHEL: https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/what-open-source-upstream we call it "upstream first"

(there are exceptions, of course, like security fixes, or unresponsive upstreams, etc. but the policy is still very much to get every patch shipped merged upstream)

I like these kinds of disclaimers. They show that you are very likely to know what you're talking about, and can be treated with rather greater confidence than those who smear from the outside.

For the record, I too work at Red Hat. So, same disclaimer.
