I noticed the email and I was quite happy we were making new releases. I even
referred to it when I wrote the shmget security fix announcement by looking at
the version number we were preparing for 4.7.

What I had not noticed was the actual *content* of the branch that the
releases were coming from. It just seemed to me that the engineers were using
a different repository to apply small fixes for the package creation (something
we routinely do).

It didn't occur to me to even think that the releases were not coming from the
original branch, but instead from one with over 140 cherry-picked commits.
That's what I'm objecting to now.
