These are both kind of half theoretical issues that have been around for years without more complaints. No need to rush them to stable. Balance between regression risk vs adding them to stable. This patch for example states: "I had no luck producing this sequence of completion events so there is no compelling demonstration of any resulting disaster. It may be a very rare, obscure condition. The sole motivation for this patch is that if such unlikely event does occur, I'd rather risk reporting a cancelled partially done isoc frame as empty than gamble with UA" Thanks Mathias
