Ah, I didn't get that you were trying to suggest that things only go into stable if it has both Fixes: *and* Cc: Stable.
If that's the problem you were trying to solve, perhaps we could ask Stephen Rothwell if he would be willing to run a script that sends nag-o-grams to Maintainers who incluce patches in linux-next that have Cc: stable but neither Fixes nor a "# 4.x" appended to the end of the Cc: stable line?
