What about the case (as highlighted in previous discussions) that the
stable tree needs a simple "dirty" fix, whereas mainline takes the
complex "clean" fix?

>From what's been said above, this means that the stable tree doesn't

into mainline.  However, it could take the complex "clean" fix, but
that may have too high an impact.
