We also specifically do not allow new functionality in branches other
then current without a VERY good reason[0].  This is to avoid losing the
functionality in later releases which annoys the users.

[0] For example, we might allow a 80386 only feature (if such a thing
existed) to be implemented in 5-STABLE without going in to 6-CURRENT
since there would be no point in adding it to a branch without 80386
support.
