That's my feeling too.

I've been doing these regularly for dunfell and it hasn't been an
issue in the past two years.

Yes, my criteria for including is that they are bug/security only updates.

I don't assume anything from the version number, I review the release
notes (if any) and the git logs.  In many cases the version updates in
master don't include this info in the commit message.  In that case I
add either the release notes or the git log to the commit message when
cherry-picking from master.

So it is a time consuming manual process :-)

BTW, those who include release notes or commit logs in their version
bumps get smiles and brownie points from me!
