Hi Greg,

I'm sorry, I read that document few days ago before sending the series and again 
this morning, but I can't figure out what I missed (following option 1).

Should the "Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" tag be on each patch of the series even 
if the whole series has been sent to stable ?

Should the whole series sent again (v4) instead of sending a fix as a reply to ?

Thanks,
Laurent.
