I just don't see the need to backport *any* patches from my tree that
don't have an explicit Cc: stable@ marker on them. I'm pretty careful
about adding those, and when I forget, I send them manually onward to
stable@. If there's some judgement that a certain patch needs to be
backported that I didn't mark, that sounds like something to
deliberately raise, rather than a heap of emails that this patch and
that patch have been added willy-nilly.

The reason I care about this is that I generally care about stable and
consistency of rationale and such, and so if you *do* want to backport
some stuff, I am going to spend time checking and verifying and being
careful. I don't want to do that work if it's just the consequence of a
random script and not somebody's technical decision.
