    Thanks, I'm OK with that. I'll undo Fixes-no-stable.

    Although I'd prefer that "akpm" was ignored, rather than "./mm/".
    Plenty of "mm" patches don't touch mm/, such as drivers/base/memory.c,
    include/linux/blah, fs/, etc. And I am diligent about considering
    -stable for all the other code I look after.

    This doesn't mean that I'm correct all the time, by any means - I'd
    like to hear about patches which autosel thinks should be backported
    but which don't include the c:stable tag.
