And ... by referring to that you just made a guideline(-du-jour!) that
"Fixes" tag must be accompanied by "Cc: stable@" (because Fixes
_doesn't_ imply stable backport!), and then you apply the stable rules
to that.

The time that any one of us will (have) spent even reading this thread
is clearly longer than it would've taken to add (if desired) or remove
(had I included it and not desired) the tag in the first place ...
