Just an additional bit of information, there have been quite many cleanups 
from me which have recently gotten the stable notification for some 
mysterious reason. When I had tens of them in my inbox and for various 
kernel versions, I immediately stopped caring to stop it from happening.

AFAIK, I've not marked those for stable inclusion so I've no idea what
got them included.
