This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
ppp: mppe: Revert "ppp: mppe: Add softdep to arc4"
to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summaryThe filename of the patch is:
ppp-mppe-revert-ppp-mppe-add-softdep-to-arc4.patch
and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory.
I already explained last time that this shouldn't be backported:
https://lore.kernel.org/stable/[email protected]/
The commit message explains it too.
Is there something I could have done last time around to properly prevent this from being backported, or do I have to continue to be ready to respond to these emails which can come at arbitrary times forever?

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <[email protected]> know about it.
Hard for "anyone else" to object to it when you didn't Cc any real mailing lists (stable-commits doesn't count) and just sent this to me. Lucky I saw this.

Appologies, I had to revert back to (older) backups for some of my data and sadly forgot it can cause this type of issues. I'll drop the patch.

This is just the "added to the queue" mail, you would see another mail when this release goes to -rc1. No reason for too much spam...

So that second email would have gone to the real mailing lists that would need to review this patch (linux-crypto and netdev)? I don't think that's what happens, hence my concern...
