The conclusion from 3.9 development so far seems to be that combining
MC's model with the model of the update stream is painful. Because the
"upstream" code is managed and therefore normally delivered to the
release team by means of MC, removing MC from the picture is
difficult. Which means that the update stream must be removed. 

My proposal is to not work with an update stream during "fast
development" - that is certainly up to and including the alpha stage,
but probably also up to and including the beta stage. After that, the
version is frozen (more so than until now - 3.8 saw entirely new
features rather than just bugfixes during its lifetime), and the
patches that need to be applied can be fed through the update stream
mechanism again.
