how to you plan to handle patches that don't commit cleanly ? do you, by design of the process, intend to drop them (id est: drop every bug fixes that come after a functional change in the same area of code), or do you plan to handle yourself the task of retrofit ?
If a patch can't be made to apply then I'll ask the author to merge it, but for 1.0.1 that shouldn't happen, we won't be diverging that fast. And once backporting starts to become too painful then it will be time to make a new stable release.
