Hello, If I might chime in here as well... I too second this because of issues providing patch for upstream issues. For example, https://bugs.webkit.org/b/34539 shows how upstream code clean up affects patches provided to fix problems based on qtwebkit-2.0. That is only one example, but time after time patches created for qtwebkit-2.0 are not cleanly applicable to trunk for me at least...
Thanks, Dawit A.
