I appreciate the patches for all the branches, it gives more
confidence in how thorough things look!

I will avoid the EOL branches, but if someone really wants them, they
are on the list and I wouldn't fight too hard about not applying them.

Just so I'm clear, there aren't actually 11 patches, just some of the
patches repeated across the various branches .. totalling 11. If that
is wrong, please do follow up to the branches with more patches, as I
definitely didn't get 11.
