No, a "Fixes" line is not sufficient enough, stable@ will get the attention of my scripts properly and will always be looked at. Sometimes I look at the fixes: tag, if I have nothing else to do (not something that's happened in the past few months), and sometimes Sasha's scripts will pick up on that tag, but not always. So to be sure, always use cc: stable@ like the stable_kernel_rules.txt file says to do. thanks, greg k-h
