Subject: Re: XFS patches for stable

As someone who has done xfs stable backports for a while I really don't
think the autoselection is helpful at all.  Someone who is vaguely
familiar with the code needs to manually select the commits and QA them,
which takes a fair amount of time, but just needs some manual help if it
should work ok.

I think we are about ready to have a new xfs stable maintainer lined up
if everything works well fortunately.
