While it's certainly a good point, I think this is *our* fault for not
upstreaming our changes, and the responsibility of cleaning up merges
should lie on our shoulders. We've diverged a lot. Sure, Dscho does a
great job making the divergence less painful, but IMO we should try to
reduce the delta as well.

For instance, I think the Unicode-support patches have proven
themselves by now and should go upstream. And there's probably a ton
of smaller free-standing clean-ups that could get the same treatment.
