And yet they were not.

I can some issues, such as these feature additions being backported:

[...]

[...]

supposedly as dependencies of:

But it doesn't depend on them.  And it also got reverted in this same
series.  So backporting the "dependencies" just introduced risk with no
benefit.

Meanwhile, the stable-specific regressions in recent 5.10.y stable
releases (affecting ARM memset64() and IPv6 tunnels) were not addressed
in 5.10.252.
