Comment 1 for bug 311328

Hi TJ:

We tend to not pull in many patches that aren't present in at least -trunk
or -fixes into our packages so that they will resolve properly later when
upgrading to a new revision in case upstream didn't like the initial patch.
Once these land in upstream, we'll be able to pull those into our package
(and backport to -fixes as necessary too).

Poke upstream so they can land there first.

We'll keep this bug open to track the progress at least.
