Since multipath upstream doesn't have a stable branch.  The safest thing
to do is to pick a point and pull then, and just apply known stable
patches on top of it, instead of trying to keep in sync with upstream,
and repeatedly pulling down patches that break things.

But, yes, upstream currently doesn't appear to be taking patches.
Christophe hasn't responded to any of my emails recently, and and the
last patch of mine he's accepted (or even commented on) was IIRC in
September. I assume this is just temporary, and was planning to wait
until January to see if he came back.
