Well, I was aware of your emails yet my free time didn't really allow me to follow those patch bombs. I responded only when some email subject hit my eyes as being non-stable candidate. So by no means the MM backports were reviewed by me. And considering how hard it is to get any review for MM patches in general I strongly suspect that others didn't review either. In general I am quite skeptical about the automagic backports selections, to be honest. MM patches should be reasonably good at selecting stable backports and adding more patches on top just risks regressions. -- Michal Hocko SUSE Labs
