The Fedora policies says, that patches which are not Fedora specific should be
forwarded to upstream for integration into the main sources.

Because the big diff files seams to be a patch which is not Fedora specific, it
may be nice if we can got integrate it into the main sources.

The advance of integrate the patch into the main sources are:

1.) Better maintainmence for the packages

2.) Clarification that this is part of the common upstream distribution of the
software

Of courses it's not a blocker to have such big patch in the package as long as
you have tried to sent this patch to upstream and have documented this in a
comment in the SPEC file.

Jochen Schmitt
