Given the huge patch volume that the stable tree manages (30-40 changes accepted a day, 7 days a week), any one kernel subsystem that wishes to do something different only slows down everyone else.

Lower down the volume then? Raise the bar for what gets backported? Stable kernel releases got unnecessarily big [1] (Jiří is in Cc). Those 40 changes a day cannot get a proper review. Each stable release tries to mimic -rc except -rc is in consistent state while "stable" is just a bunch of changes picked here and there.
