+Q: Are all networking bug fixes backported to all stable releases?
+
+A: Due to capacity, Dave could only take care of the backports for the last
+ 2 stable releases. For earlier stable releases, each stable branch maintainer
+ is supposed to take care of them. If you find any patch is missing from an
+ earlier stable branch, please notify [email protected] with either a
+ commit ID or a formal patch backported, and CC Dave and other relevant
+ networking developers.
