What is the point of my publishing the pending networking -stable
queue if you're not even going to check it?  Those last two patches
were already queued up.

Furthermore, it is erroneous to suggest the -ENOMEM SCTP fix without
the memory leak fix that happens in the commit right before it.

I've queued things up appropriately, but I really don't appreciate
how you've handled this at all.  It makes a lot more work for me than
necessary.
