I applied this to net-next, but: 1) Fixes destined for -stable _MUST_ be submitted to 'net' not 'net-next'. 2) Networking -stable submissions are not performed using the CC: of the stable alias. It is done by asking me to queue up your change for the next batch of networking -stable patches I submit.
