We should always check fix into master or ensure that master does not
exhibit same problem
If master needs fix then it should flow into stable branches via master.
In cases where master does not show the problem or has the isssue
fixed due to some other indirect
change which is too intrusive for stable branches, a patch for stable
only should be proposed.

In some cases we may offer to defer, master fixes if we are certain
that another pending chnages e.g. recipe upgrades can fix it
for master, I would still recommend that we propose it for master
still and recipe upgrade accounts for it later by removing this
change. At least we will have a cherry-pick chance to newer stable branches.
