Castle maintains forks and custom releases of packages ocassionally. Here is the status and reasoning for our forks:

• plone.app.blocks: https://github.com/castlecms/plone.app.blocks (Hard fork): Castle heavily customizes how Plone renders things including how "blocks" are rendered
• plone-app-mosaic: https://github.com/castlecms/plone.app.mosaic/tree/castlecms (Hard fork, castlecms branch): Originally for fixes but at this point, we will maintain the fork until we have reason not to or we have better alternative layout engines.
• plonetheme.barceloneta: (Hard fork): Castle rendering of barceloneta. No Diazo.
• plone.app.registry (Dev release): Release to get Plone 5.1 features into Castle based off Plone 5.0. Can be removed once we go to 5.2
• plone.app.standardtiles (Dev release): Unknown status on if we still need this release.
• Products.ZCatalog (Dev release): unknown status
• z3c.relationfield (Dev release): PR: zopefoundation/z3c.relationfield#7
• mockup: https://github.com/plone/mockup/tree/2.4.x (Dev release): TinyMCE backport fixes from 5.1
• Products-CMFPlone (Dev release): TinyMCE backport fixes from 5.1 and bundle ordering bug: plone/Products.CMFPlone#2632
