Generally not on my end, but it's possible downstreams make use of them as a means to just grab the latest stable release (though I don't know if this is actually the case or not). I agree that having it in MAINTAINERS isprobably of limited usefulness though. I *would* like to have a fairly consistent tree that's updated more regularly that people could target for backports and such, but that would probably be via my stable-N.M-staging tree on github. Perhaps I should point people there instead?
