I'm sorry to say, but for that reason I think the exact opposite should 
happen.
From experience it shows that if its easy to get your fix in your local tree 
then the incentive to do the right thing and push it upstream becomes an 
afterthought that in my experience is dropped too often.

If Nokia needs a fix that didn't make it into a release yet then there are 
several options available for it to include the patch in the actual build it 
ships. All of them suboptimal, but thats the point; it should go upstream.

Please, if possible setup the open source environment in such a way that the 
right thing to do is the easiest solution. That way you avoid a lot of 
management and end up with a more sustainable long term ecology.
