Haha, good point. I fully agree with you. :)

I agree here too. This would also help everyone understand if such or
such bug will be backported or not. For instance, if a bug is targetted
4.4, you know it will be backported. If it's targetted 5.0, you know it
won't. This would also save the assignee some time: no need to work on a
backport if the bug fix is not going to be accepted on stable branches.
