Thank you for your comments. This list was a byproduct of other analysis we did, I did not intent to ask these patches for inclusion into stable. We simply wanted to report this list in case it includes some patches that might have dropped off your radar. We are aware that such information without further work, e.g. backporting and testing does not add much yet. Thanks, -- Henri
