The big difference between a commit with the Fixes tag and a Cc to stable
verses one with the Fixes tag without the Cc stable, is that the one with
Cc stable will give me a "FAILED" message if it fails to apply. One with
just the Fixes tag and no Cc stable, will not generate that message to me
if it doesn't apply back to the version with the Fixes commit sha.

I do like to know what I marked as stable and fails to apply. Unfortunately
I don't have the time to go fix them. But I keep them in a mail folder in
case I need to do it one day.
