For regression fixes, I believe it makes sense to apply them to X even
if it does not make it into X+1.
The reason is that the patch would be fixing something that is already
a regression in X+1.  So the issue is just moving the point of
regression.  For patches that are not regression fixes, we want to
make sure that they apply toboth X and X+1.
