It is a whole lot easier to peruse and use modifications that someone else has written and debugged than to write them oneself.

It is generally a cause for celebration when someone releases their work for everyone else to consider for use.

The philosophy of the kernel is to work for everyone's need. Its a good question, if these enhancements are of broad benefit and unobtrusive as they seem it's likely better to upstreaming it vs out-of-band patches.
