</span>depends on the code- in some cases, where upstreams are going to work<br>
with us we do pre-patch and stage content that we can control code for -<br>
this tends to mostly be content outside of the distro.<br>
<br>
For the distro itself, we rely on the source drops from upstream - but<br>
we dont really test or need to own too much of the code lifecycle there.<br>
