What you don't understand is that bug fixes will get lost if you only
fix them in -stable, it doesn't matter HOW THEY GOT into -stable.

In fact IT HAS FUCKING HAPPENED that we didn't fix something upstream
that got fixed in -stable a time long ago when we didn't have the
policy we're using now which you're going so unreasonably ape-shit
about.

And we didn't notice the discrepency until much later.

So the issues are real, there's proven precendence, and you're just
so wrong it's not even funny.
