It's really up to you. I didn't encounter the bug myself, I just found
out the mistake by reading the code and cooking this cleanup series.

Feel free to drop the Cc: to stable when applying, I don't particularly
care about this specific feature, and since no-one noticed so far, I
doubt anyone cares :)

Thanks,
