So what happens when you receive the FAILED message?
And why are you interested to know how far back a fix can be backported?
Personally, I'm _very_ interested in a _small_ number of patches, but
none of which usually emanate from subsystems I maintain.
I'm interested because they only get backported to kernels that are
maintained for some reason. And since these are in my subsystem, I do like
to know that my code works for all supported kernel releases. ;-)
Well that's unusually conscientious of you. I like it. =:-)
NB: Not that _you_ are unconscientious - I was referring to the rest of us!
