IMHO, it should not be special but rather considered as a regular project.
If there are some patches that are downstream and not merged upstream
I'm curious to see the list and figure out why they are not merged
upstream. That's something we might need to solve.

-2 too.

Same.

Big +1, it seems the most consistent and coherent way to manage OPM, I
think we should go that way.

I would like to create a list of the patches that are in OPM and not
upstream. Can anyone easily provide it? The last time I checked, we had
~13 patches (that's a lot) that are not upstream.
We might want to figure that out too.
