I thought that patches that clean up code but don’t fix actual bugs were not done in stable branches. Has this changed?
I hope not. Sure, if they fix actual bugs, that's fine, but as MvL often points out, even innocent looking changes can break code *somewhere*. We don't lose by being conservative with our stable branches.

I concur with Barry and MvL. Random code cleanups increase the risk of introducing new bugs.
