Whatever other people think about Red Hat being a corporate
behemot, I can testify, that in a Red Hat training I heard on my
ears high-level engineering people to stress repeatedly and very
forcefully, that any patch we make and solution we find for
a bug, should be immediately send upstream. Which I think is one
of the things which differentiates us against many other Linux
distributions. That's not bashing of Ubuntu and/or SuSE -- they
have their reasons for being what they are, just that I can
confirm that even inside Red Hat there is strong official stress
on upstreaming everything reasonable.
