How about feature regressions? What made me think of this is the thread
about the 8x0 alsa breakage in 2.6.11. 2.6.10 and 2.6.9 worked well for
people, but 2.6.11 is aparently broken for some. When that bug gets fixed
would such a fix be appropriate for 2.6.10.y (assuming it doesn't violate
any of your other guidelines) ?
