I was surprised to see this picked up by AUTOSEL since I remember adding
a stable tag to this patch (to v2, changed my mind since v1) -- and it's
there in the lore link above.

Greg, just to make sure this wasn't due to a b4 bug; did you drop the
stable tag on purpose when applying?

The tag-order has been reshuffled by b4 too it seems (I know, some
people think that's ok) so maybe it fell out in the process.
