Thorsten Leemhuis af3e4a5ab9 docs: stable-kernel-rules: create special tag to flag 'no backporting' ... Document a new variant of the stable tag developers can use to make the stable team's tools ignore a change[1]. That way developers can use 'Fixes:' tags without fearing the changes might be backported in semi-automatic fashion. Such concerns are the reason why some developers deliberately omit the 'Fixes:' tag in changes[2] -- which somewhat undermines the reason for the existence of that tag and might be unwise in the long term[3].
