Yes, it doesn't have to be all pushed upstream for it to be used. It's just
a question of how big the out-of-upstream patchset is that Jeremy has to
manage. And actually there's maintenance work even with the upstreamed
patches, of course. But none of that directly matters for consumers of
Jeremy's tree.
