I submit those patches at a time of my own choosing, and if you
read stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx you will see when I do that.

I let patches cook in Linus's tree for a week or so before submitting
to -stable so that any bugs in those changes are more likely to be
discovered before the change is in -stable too.
