Since always. Why would you ever want someone to upgrade from an older tree (like 5.10.y) to a newer one (5.15.y) and have a regression? So we always try to make sure patches are always applied to newer trees first. Yes, sometimes we miss this and make mistakes, but it's always been this way and we fix that whenever it happens accidentally. I'll drop this series from my review queue for now until the 5.15.y series shows up. thanks, greg k-h
