If you stronly think that this is a necessary fix for the -rc cycle,
then I'm fine with it.

What I'd like to see is a series of targeted critical fixes with
descriptions of the .config options case the issues so we can avoid
similar issues in the future.

Then let's have separate clean-up related patches, even if we merge
them too during the -rc cycle. You've probably done this already in
your series, but I have not seen the series yet.

Even if we go that path I should still apply your patches for some
testing. And I'd like to ack the changes, it's a very nice set of
fixes :)

Sure if it saves some time finding a critical error, it makes sense.
