Right. Which is why I said "... queued up in the stable-queue tree on kernel.org". > Many commits cc'd to stable don't cleanly apply.

Yep, aware of that too. The commits I highlighted hadn't had any of those emails, either FAILED or applied. It seems Greg (or his scripts) has gone through a large portion of the tree again today and a number of them were picked up, so that's good. Anyway, the intention of the email was two-fold. 1) To highlight what Fedora is carrying in addition to the normal stable tree and why via bug numbers. You know, being good community members. 2) A gentle prod on perhaps including them in 3.4.5 so we (selfishly) can stop carrying them around as patches. That also goes back to point 1 though since it benefits others.
