It turns out that maintaining the fixes branch is quite heavy and
frustrating at the same time, because the code is in continuous
evolution, and many fixes can't be applied, because the source has been
changed in the meantime. So there's a lot of fruitless work. Attempt to
apply a fix, verify that it can't be applied, investigate why, and
discover that it should be applied on top of something which is still in
progress, not yet stable, not yet finished, etc. IOW, not suitable for a
stable branch.
Very wisely, Felipe suggested that instead of trying and apply all fixes
and/or enhancements which appear reasonable, we should concentrate on
what's actually needed.
User requests are therefore welcome. If possible (i.e. if fixes can be
either directly applied or backported with a reasonable confidence)
they'll be honored.
