Exactly! I have a big pull request for surf 0.6; it takes time to adopt these
changes to current snapshot, and there are better ways to waste that
time then to cherry-pick the changes.
You may argue that I could follow the agentic development closely and update my
pull request with every commit. But that actually requires even less time, and
yet less time to build every revision.
My solution is simplistic - I have a pull request against surf package (which is -
wait for it! - of latest *version*). This way I only have to modify my
pull request with every release. This works perfectly when maintainer indeed
bumps package version when user-visible feature lands in source tree.
Of course, this fails miserably when maintainer doesn't grasp the
concept of version.
