The thing is, every trunk change goes in to the next regular release, and the 
next LTS release, anyway with no extra eyes required.
 
If certain changes should have more review, we should be managing that on 
trunk. Then it would make sense to have a policy that says only changes having 
had extra review can be back ported.
