That seems to cover the bad pretty well. So if an upstream release included
something from above and bug fixes, if practical you should backport the
bug fixes. If that isn't practical, you need to decide whether the behavior
change or the bug is worse.

Is it safe to say bug fixes combined with enhancements not covered above
would generally be OK?
