Asking people to express 'CC: stable' in words is error-prone; if Dave
wants to filter it, he's quite capable.

Filtering it one time is one thing.

Potentially acting on that filter 100 or so times a day...

That's completely another.

I don't see the difference between reacting to:

The patch were need for 3.10 and above.

And:

CC: stable@kernel.org # 3.10+

Except the latter is the standard form which everyone else uses.

Do you want awk script to turn the latter into the former?  Would that
really help?

Confused,
Rusty.
