Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

As a member of the devguide target audience, I think for this the devguide 
should give alternatives with brief pluses and minuses. After importing and 
applying a patch to the earliest applicable 2.x or 3.x, move it to the other 
series with graft (new, possible better merge,possible problem with case or 
series specific changes); re-import (possible loss of local edits); or even 
export/import (keep local changes, no case problems). Expanded, the previous 
sentence should only be 10 or at most 15 lines. Then each person can pick the 
method that works best for them, which might not always be the same method for 
each patch. In a few years, this topic will be obsolete except for security 
issues.
