Yes, you're right. There's an assumption there that upstream commits find there way to upstream/stable and thence to qemu-kvm stable. An assumption that fortunately holds. I like how things work out. It would have been pretty difficult for me to maintain a stable branch without the qemu upstream stable branch, as I could only realistically backport the stuff that goes through me. -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain.
