There are no "automated" nastygrams, it's a "hit this key to send out
this form message" I have in my email client.
The only time it triggers a false-positive is when I haven't had enough
coffee in the morning, which is what happened recently with a patch from
John Stultz. If I've sent you that message incorrectly, I'm sorry,
please let me know.
Again, any patch cc:ed to stable that has a stable mark on it in the
signed-off-by area is fine, and it helps me to know to watch out for
things when they hit Linus's tree, or most importantly, to notice if
they somehow _don't_ hit his tree. Again, some recent patches from John
fall in to that category, they didn't make it into Linus's tree when
they probably should have for 3.19, and now I need to scoop them up
quickly when they finally do. If I hadn't been cc:ed on them, I would
not have noticed that.
Hope this helps explain things,
