Other maintainers (particularly Steve): do you really think we need to
apply a patch that was obviously added upstream and will be in 3.0.31
(due out "soon"?)

I'm not entirely convinced as it would mean we should adopt all
patches used upstream which basically means realeasing versions before
them (extra work, etc.).
