In my opinion, this is different from more-dangerous kernel
commits because the kernel-commits only affect the kernel in
freebsd-current.  This affects the include files used by
everything on the system, which means it will affect ports
on -current, which means it may effect those same ports on
freebsd-stable.

Obviously nobody has put me in charge of such decisions.  That
is just my opinion of why it's different.
