I don't believe that those who read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
will magically read networking/netdev-FAQ.txt as well nor figure that
while they should not mark the patches stables (skr.txt), they are
expected to apply some extra rules as well (nF.txt).

It's fine if you disagree. I won't argue.
