The problem is that one person's "critical" bug fix is another person's
needless bloat/complication of the security bugfix process. I personally
feel strongly that the proposed branch updates should be security only. If
you feel that a bugfix in -stable is appropriate to your site, the onus is
on you to upgrade to -stable.
