We already dealt with this, but for the record, I think it is best to at
least make an attempt to send things upstream before checking in a local
divergence. This helps make future imports less hairy. If upstream
takes too long, for whatever reason, then IMO it is usually ok to just
go ahead (particularly for configury stuff, which tends not to be very
invasive).
