But it can also be claimed that it *will* break applications anyway with an updated kernel, so backporting it to older kernels will just allow a consistent behaviour. Anyway, I'm OK either way. But if you drop the stable tag make sure you also remove the 'Fixes:' tag as I believe the stable folks will still pick this patch if it includes a valid SHA1 in it.
