This is a serious issue in that it seems that the people maintaining
the older stable release integrate arbitrary patches even if they
haven't been sent to v5.4 and v5.5

And I don't handle -stable backport submissions that far back anyways.

Therefore, I'm not going ot participate in that ongoing problem, so
feel free to contact the folks who integrated those changes into
-stable and ask them to revert.

Thanks.
