That's very good to know, I admit that I have close to zero idea about how 
the stable -rcs are being tested.

That as well, but the main message I am trying to push here is "we need a 
little bit more thinking while anotating patches for stable".

It might very well be that some variation of what has been just proposed 
elsewhere in this thread (requiring all the stable commits to either 
contain explicit 'Fixes' tag, or be explicitly annotated by the kernel 
version range they should be applied to) would help tremendously on that 
front.

Very good to know that the test coverage is being continuously extended.
