That's news to me, but the important point remains; they don't make it
into the stable release, correct? Yet, we still expect them to be
fixed in mainline, correct?

Seriously? That's your reason?

Hey, thousands of users out there; the reason why we pushed a patch
that is known to be broken in v3.3.x is because it already has a
commit ID.

If that's your idea of a good reason then I don't see any point in
discussing with you any more. No offense intended.

Cheers.
