The "stable@...nel.org" address for a stable cc is actually better
than stable@...r" imho, because afaik it still matches Greg's
automation (that also picks up on "Fixes:" tags), and it does *not*
cause extra email flurries when people use git-send-email scripts.

iirc, we had some vendor leak a security bug early because they
actually just cc'd everybody - including the stable list - on the
not-yet-publicly-committed change.

Greg - if your automation has changed, and you actually really want
the "vger", let me know. Because I tend to just use
"stable@...nel.org"
