A turning point for CVE numbers

I mean... how do you want me to respond to this? Unless RH replies with a statement saying that the only reason they assigned a CVE to this is because they needed to backport a patch (and a statement that says "... for backport to older versions of Red Hat Linux ... " is not enough) to convince you that this is what is going on, then I'm not sure if it's worth discussing it here.

Given that you feel that we should go for completeness around our CVE reporting, I'm more than happy to personally check the CVEs assigned by kernel.org against RH's kernel trees, and request CVEs for issues that may affect RH's trees explicitly from the RH CNAs.
