We have never did "mass backport", because most of them were irrelevant
for our ancient systemd in rhel. It is handy when I am looking for some
bugfix in upstream and the first step was to go through such patches.

By the way it might be a good topic for the conference to talk about
systemd and LTS distributions. Our 208 was quite un-maintainable just
after two years. Maybe LTS ubuntus and Debian stable will have similar
issues.
