Actually, we do have maintainers who curate their own stable tree.
David Miller for networking is an example. Perhaps we should ask him
and others who do this to describe the advantages they see in their
trees over the "tag it for stable and forget about it" mentality that
the rest of us have. Perhaps Maintainers should be running their own
stable trees ... perhaps what theyre doing is OK. Debating it will at
least flush out the issues.

The former is how the net stable tree works.

Every added patch has potential consequences. In theory the
maintainers are best placed to understand what they are, so a
maintainer to stable flow might be the best way of controlling
regressions in stable. On the other hand, running stable trees is
something Greg was supposed to be offloading from Maintainers, so I
suspect a lot of them don't want the added burden of having to care.
I'm not saying there's a right answer. I am saying I think it's worth
the discussion.
