There is a difference between feature development and distro maintenance/packaging.

Feature development is done upstream and does flow down to others.

Distro maintenance and packaging is downstream, and almost never provides value to other distros. It usually doesn't even provide value to the next release. Distro maintenance is a hard, thankless Sisyphean task.
