For commits that only have a "Fixes:" tag, and not a "cc: stable..."
tag, wait a few weeks, or a month, for us to catch up with them.  We
usually get to them eventually, but it takes us a while as we have lots
more to deal with by developers and maintainers that are properly
tagging patches for this type of thing.

Some of the above commits are queued up already, but not all of them.
I'll take a look at the list after this next round of patches go out,
and will let you know.

And yes, we do want this type of list, it's greatly appreciated.

thanks,
