Is there any appetite for maintaining patches-only and
merging-on-build? It would mean a smaller repo for us not just in
terms of size (which is largely irrelevant) but also in terms of
brain-cycles.

If I can see that we patch pool-1.x with a 5-line change and add a
sour\ce file versus there are 500 source files in there that all need
to be diff'd against their original sources, it makes it easier for
anyone to look at the code to see what's happening.

It does complicate the release process, though.
