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,
