Question about the RELENG_5 branch ...

[Matthew Grooms]

      I was under the impression that the only patches being back ported 
in 5.4-RELEASE are from the security team to fix security related 
issues. Do patches that resolve problems that are known to cause panics 
get back ported as well?

Thanks for the reply,

Matthew Grooms
