I disagree. If there's a simple, obvious, small fix that passes all the
other criteria, it should go into -stable ASAP after passing review.
Then the -stable maintainers will push the fix to Andrew/Linux, and it
will go into the next 2.6.x.

Let's keep -stable as good as possible, while still abiding by all the
other rules.
