I'd much rather see it go through the proper channels than go ahead
and cherry-pick from some branch that hasn't even been sent to me yet.
The whole "you have to send things to me for me to take them" policy
is not new, I don't want to start taking stuff that the
authors/maintainers haven't actively sent my way.

That said, I suspect that Greg didn't expect this to actually matter
(the commit message certainly doesn't make it sound like anything that
people would notice), so the reason it is in -next is likely that
nobody thought it was a regression.

Of course, Greg could just send it to me for my next branch (since the
merge window for 3.16 is already open) and tell me that it's also
stable material for 3.15. At _that_ point I'll happily cherry-pick it
intpo master...
