What's the point of stable if it introduces regressions by backporting bug fixes for non major bugs. Every fix I make I consider labeling it for stable. The ones I don't, I feel the bug fix is not worth the risk of added regressions. I worry that people will get lazy and stop marking commits for stable (or even thinking about it) because they know that there's a bot that will pull it for them. That thought crossed my mind. Why do I want to label anything stable if a bot will probably catch it. Then I could just wait till the bot posts it before I even think about stable. -- Steve
