Did you read the document?, it explains that the version can be used to
say "this kernel version and newer"

You only put tags there if you want me to pick up pre-requisite patches
that are already in Linus's tree. If you have a patch series that all
needs to go into stable, just add the "cc: stable@" to the tags on all
of them and I'll pick them up in the correct order then.
