I completely agree. We are trying to consolidate our repos as much as possible. The Hardy release was two years ago, and we admittedly had to= o many repos with sources for different hardy kernels. We now have just one repo for each of our recent kernel releases, and probably will have only one master branch even for Maverick. As for this patch, I still don't see it in the commit you linked to. There's nothing in that version of the driver that discards packets, checks firmware versions, or enables jumpy cursor logic. If we did apply this patch somewhere and overlooked upstreaming it, the= n that was a mistake on our part. We would also be just as concerned as you are, since we don't seem to carry this patch in any Ubuntu supporte= d kernels that I am aware of.
