Well, I remember Linus has said several times in case of more risky fixes
that he'd rather see them in -rc1 with -stable tag than merging them (very)
late in the -rc series. And frankly if the patch gets in in the merge
window it doesn't get too much real testing before it is released in stable
so how to treat such patches is a question. So I think we need to find a
balance between what you and Linus ask for.
