I think there's a mix.  If there is more than a screenful of smoke, or  
something I know about has been languishing in an RT queue a long  
time, I may apply it to blead, but otherwise I wait for upstream.  I  
don't know offhand which patches John is referring to or what queues  
they are in.  I hope to find time to research that soon but can't make  
any promises.

I'm about to try a maint-5.10 build again and see where the PathTools  
integration got us.
