+If e.g. upstream and some contributor disagree on something (power
+settings or anything), that doesn't make upstream unwilling. That means
+upstreams opinion is different, nothing more.

+Note that if something is really needed, and some long term commitment

+to take up responsibility. Meaning: become a maintainer for a package,
+look after the bugs, etc. That takes up a lot of time. If you differ
+from upstream then IMO you are responsible for those differences (pretty
+much same if upstream takes a patch).
+
+At most if these patches aren't applied some stuff won't work as nicely.
