    We also specifically do not allow new functionality in branches other
    then current without a VERY good reason[0]. This is to avoid losing the
    functionality in later releases which annoys the users.

    [0] For example, we might allow a 80386 only feature (if such a thing
    existed) to be implemented in 5-STABLE without going in to 6-CURRENT
    since there would be no point in adding it to a branch without 80386
    support.
