I don't follow that; I would expect any serious bug fix (serious enough
for a stable update) to be acceptable for 3.6 at this point.

If the regression occurred in 3.3, then the cc lines should be something
like:

Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # 3.3+

and not the current:

Cc: 3.2.x.. <stable@vger.kernel.org>

(Note, version annotations should be on the right of the address, not in
the 'real name' position on the left.)
