Right, this case is a bit disputable. Docs and selftests can't really
break the current release. And someone who backports the fixes should 
be able to easily test them.

Also, thinking selfishly as a maintainer, having them in one series
saves me mental tracking of who promised to send tests via another
tree and hasn't posted them yet.
