This is why I'd draw the line on owning our code. The two cited bugs are congruent
with this.

That may even be too broad. Keeping it narrow to "we're responsible
for what our code does different than upstream"
So I'm kinda pulled in two different directions on this - I like the
concept of only owning responsibility for our own code, but on the other
hand I also like *functional* release criteria. So it's a bit of a
tricky circle to square. I'm sure we can figure something out, though!
