That explanation isn't very convincing to me.

It is fine to introduce OVMF fixes into stable branches, of course.

But it is not fine to introduce other upstream changes to OVMF,
willy-nilly.

Obviously these two requirements cannot be satisfied without there
being some branch of OVMF which contains the intended fixes, without
the unwanted upstream development.

If OVMF upstream do not have such a branch, we need to create one.
