Just because a maintainer/developer doesn't want to do anything for the stable kernel releases does_NOT_ mean the code is "unstable/expreimental" at all.These are more bcache-ate-my-data unstable bugs. It's standard practice to backport fixes that cause instability/data corruption to a 'stable' release (otherwise, why would it be named 'stable')?
That's fine, but it has nothing to do with what sounded like someone wanting to go back and mark an older kernel feature as "unsupported". greg k-h
