While extending the documentation for submitting Linux wireless bug reports [1] we note the stable series policy on patches -- that of having an equivalent fix already in Linus' tree. I find this documented in Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt but I'm curious if there is any other resource which documents this or elaborates on this a bit more. I often tell people about this rule or push _really_ hard on testing "upstream" but some people tend to not understand. I think that elaborating a little on this can help and will hopefully create more awareness around the importance of trees like Stephen's linux-next tree.
