I consider all patches for the stable branch.  [STABLE] is just a hint 
as far as I'm concerned.  If a set of patches are too difficult to apply 
to the stable branch, I reserve the right to bounce the series, even for 
trunk, asking for two submissions but then again, if this ever happened, 
it suggests that either we need a new release (because things have 
changed too much since the last release) or that the patch probably 
shouldn't be in stable.
