Some of the stable trees don't even want the review - the -ckt ones for
example don't seem to leave any gap between sending out the "this patch
will be added" mails and the applied mails and I guess they're happy
with the results (I have to confess I killfiled their mails at some
point).

I think the concern here is fixes that are valid upstream but rely on
context that hasn't been backported.
