I'm wondering if it would be helpful to the stable maintainers if we
explicitly asked that patches including "Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org" also
include the version number of the earliest version that the change should
be backported to?
Andrew and others do this quite often with
Cc: sta...@vger.kernel.org [3.2+]
so perhaps such a convention should be added to the documentation?
