That has been stated multiple times before: No, OE-classic is not the only
way patches can flow into 2011.03-maintenance. It's even listed in the damn
wiki: http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/2011.03-maintenance

OE .dev will go read-only soon, If you need an OE-classic setup,
2011.03-maintenance is there for you.
