My problem is that it can take really, really long until enough
patches have piled up to justify going through the wrapper release
process and then going through another round of review to finally get
the stuff into Samba. Having to wait many weeks to get a bugfix into
Samba stretches my patience a lot.

Also, if we did the right thing and not push the wrappers in one huge
blob patch but in individual patches to keep the proper history also
in Samba, we would not have a problem. The patches pushed to Samba in
advance would just be eliminated by a rebase because they already
exist. So if we followed good engineering practices, there would not
be any conflict at all.
