MFC tags are indicative, not mandatory. I sometimes end up not MFCing
things I’d tagged with an ‘MFC after’ after all.
It’s perfectly okay to MFC things that don’t have a tag. (Although
if it’s not your commit it may be a good idea to ask the author why it
wasn’t tagged.)
This commit has been in main long enough to be an MFC candidate, so you
can merge it to stable/13 and stable/12 at any time.
Best regards,
