Simple is better, do you really want a longer version of that same file?

Is there something confusing in it?

And as always, a simple:
Cc: stable <stable@kernel.org>
in the patch itself is the easiest way to get it automatically included
in the next -stable releases after it hits Linus's tree.

What more do people want? Personal invitations?

Is it time to break out the caligraphy pens and wax seals?

thanks,
