That series did not, the previous ones and several Sumo request have.

So you are the second person to mention the update, is it causing a
problem?

That is not under the "Maintainers procedure" so it does not apply.

I have taken requests via IRC and a simple "please add this to stable
branch X" emails so I have not been enforcing the letter of the law. 


Now what does apply to me is under "Maintainer Procedure".

I have never done steps 6,7 and 8. RP has scripts the does the splitting
into the separate repos. Doing those steps adds more overhead to the
maintenance process as the AB builds require "Poky". 

Like I have mentioned already, the processes mentioned in
"Stable_branch_maintenance" are under review.
