I'd like to state for the record that in the absence of the submitter taking 
care of it, the responsibility rests with stable branch maintainers to ensure 
that any patch taken into the branch they maintain has been merged into all 
newer branches first, unless it isn't applicable to those branches. It's a 
pain, but we don't have any automatic mechanism to pick up this situation so 
for now we rely on it being done manually. 

Cheers,
Paul
