As best I understand Red Hat's "upstream first" policy: every
patch
applied to RHEL X.10 will either be a patch that they import from an
upstream project, or (for patches that Red Hat develops) will be offered
to the upstream project.? They're not held in reserve for RHEL customers
exclusively.
So, they may not appear in the Stream git repo, but the patches are
still publicly available through other channels.
If anyone has examples of this not happening, then we can talk about
whether the process is working as intended, and what that means.
