No it doesn't. Both as a maintainer and a person doing backports for
a production kernel I'm telling you that it doesn't. Fishing a
gazillion patches with random Fixes tags during the merge window,
2 months after they had been merged is *not* helping anyone.
And as it usually happens fixes people consider "not important enough"
are also usually trivial so very low risk of regression.
Maybe it makes it easier for you to stack patches but that's secondary..
