In this case it would make more sense to get 2.6.9.1 released as quickly as possible instead of trying to fix old releases. An important aspect to keep in mind is that 2.6.8.1 is an official release and people (which not necessarily read lkml and don't complain yet) expect being able to upgrade from one release to the next by applying a single incremental patch. Making an official patch release against some earlier release will certainly cause confusion.
