Which was repeatedly mentioned as a major pain point. While we can make 
specific exceptions there should be a good rationale behind such efforts.

If distribution add features as patches, that can very well reduce the 
incentive for the developers to ever push for upstream inclusion. The 
original developers would have to be interested in merging and 
maintaining it within the kernel. It would be much better to get the 
discussion going in the linux kernel mailing list.
