Agreed, there are legitimate bug fixes.

I have to say that I see this happening a lot, hns3 bug fixes targetting
net-next in a larger series of cleanups and other kinds of changes.

Please handle this delegation properly.  Send bug fixes as a series targetting
'net', and send everything else targetting 'net-next'.
