Huh? Have you read the announcement? If one do not understand from the wording that this _is_ a security fix then he/she is stupid beyond hope. And I see that the biggest difference between you and the kernel developers: the kernel developers want you to _think_ whether that particular patch is important for you or not. You on the other hand want to be able to mindlessly apply patches marked as "security fix" without any consideration about how all the other unfixed bugs can bite you.
