Sure. I was a bit confused by exactly how to do that as it was a fix to
something that went to stable but wasn't in the original release.

But thinking about it now, I guess a Cc: stable without a version would
have sufficed. I'm too much in the habit of always adding a version and
didn't know what to add for this change as it was for 3.17-rcX. I guess
I just thought too hard about what to do.
