let me give my opinion on that specific point. As a developer of two
"subprojects" used by SAGE, I can say that the SAGE developers do a
tremendous work in porting, testing, reporting bugs and even patches
to "upstream" developers. This saves a lot of time to the subproject
developers, and helps a lot in improving the quality of those subprojects.
