I do not think it quite explains the motivation, though.  "Doing
this way, we can keep in sync with the upstream more easily"?  Or is
there anything more to it, e.g. "and we need to update from the
upstream now to fix this and that issues"?

Having these "fixup!" as separate patches on the list makes them
smaller and easier to understand.  What do we want to do with them
once they are applied?  Squash them all up, because these do not
have their own explanations in their log message and it is not worth
keeping them separate?
