Given the problems with development resource that OM has at the minute it'd make life a lot easier to keep what's upstream already in sync with mainline as far as possible - it tends to make life much easier in the long run. For most incremental development this is usually relatively easy, you're more likely to run into issues pushing things like new drivers upstream. The other option is that either someone else will have to push the patch after applying it or later on someone updating against upstream is going to have to figure out why the change isn't upstream - and possibly resolve conflicts with an alternative upstream solution to the problem if someone fixes it for some other system.
