Here’s why.

You’re doing it all wrong.

Traditional Approach:“Fork It and Forget It”⎻ Pin upstream at a fixed version⎻ Make changes in tree⎻ No patches sent upstream

git clonepokycdpokygit clonemeta-foo

Traditional Approach:“Fork It and Forget It”⎻ Obsolete from day one⎻ Upstream never stops⎻ Huge technical debt

Follow the Linux* kernel release model
