youtube-dl breaking [0] -- the bug was open for 21 days before maintainer fixed it... once it was fixed, it took about 10 more days to propagate to older releases. And this was for the script whose only purpose was to interact with 3rd party websites -- it makes no sense to use older versions, they likely won't work at all!
nvidia lid closing problems [1]: bug reported 2017-11-05 and includes ready to apply patch. 2019-06-11, more than 19 months later, system76 mentions the patch is not applied and recommends PopOS... only then maintainers notice this and fast-track into Ubuntu.
Not sure who is right there, but they are really not making the case for working with upstream.
