Assuming you mean patches to OpenStack components, they've been working together with the upstream project teams there for a few years to integrate their changes and have mostly reached parity as far as I understand. What's left is changes to system libraries, kernel configurations, and so on, to tune low-level performance characteristics for their specific deployment targets. Up until very recently, they've been purely a CentOS fork, but with Red Hat announcing a shift in focus for CentOS and the fact that they hadn't completed a switch from CentOS 7 to 8 yet, they've decided that having a more stable alternative basis for their distribution might be in their best interests... but they've only just begun to investigate what building a Debian derivative might mean for them (for example, they've been relying on OpenSuse's OBS to build all their distro packages up till now, and that may not be a great fit for trying to build forks of fundamentally interrelated Debian packages). -- Jeremy Stanley
