Also in general I'd rather encourage maintainers to push their fixes
into stable than give up early and leave bogus code behind them considering
it's not their problem anymore once released. If someone cares enough to
fix code in -stable and introduces a regression, 1) we know how to revert
and 2) the same person will likely feel concerned by the issue and help
fix it.

Just my 2 cents,
Willy
