There are plenty of good reasons for having different sets of patches as Chris 
pointed out.  Sometimes patches conflict to a degree that it's impossible to 
merge them, and you have to make a choice of which patch you want.  Sometimes 
patch conflict enough that you could merge them if you spent a lot of time 
working on it and you have to decide whether this time (and money) is 
justified.
