Yeah, I did note that.

I see a lot of patches where folks simply forget about stable and Fixes.
Unfortunately, I'm not super clairvoyant and when I see an ambiguous
changelog without stable and Fixes, I can't tell if it was an oversight
or intentional.

It would be great if contributors could be less ambiguous and save us
the trouble of having to ask!
