I like the Fixes tag because it was my invention. :) It's a separate thing from -stable. It's nice for reviewing so you can see the original intent of the patch you're fixing. Also it forces you to find the original authors and CC them so hopefully they Ack the patch. The other thing is it lets you collect data about which patches introduce bugs and how quickly they get fixed. So for example, lwn.net recently had an article about bug that are backported into the -stable tree. regards, dan carpenter
