The linux-stable team isn't the only people who find this information
useful.  Distros maintaining older kernels would find it very helpful
when going through -stable patches to know easily if a patch should be
backported further, say to v3.8.

And yes, I'm aware that -stable is actively supporting farther back than
what we are discussing here.  I was refuting the specific argument as
opposed to correcting wrong assumptions.

In general, it's better to be accurate regarding 'Fixes:' commits than
assuming no one cares about anything older than the oldest -stable
kernel.

thx,

Jason.
