I used to just cherry-pick the big things then figured that some people 
care about everything so switched to that instead. Yes, the data is in 
git, but if one doesn't know git well then it can be hard to tell where 
something was fixed.

I won't yell if it's dropped, but it's just a cut-n-paste after all.
