I am still tagging cc: stable for fixes that I truly believe belong in stable, but otherwise I let AUTOSEL do whatever it wants because I do not own stable tree. I however also believe that AUTOSEL picks up much more than it should. Maybe if "Fixes: " tags commit older than (2 years?) it should ignore such fixes? Thanks. -- Dmitry
