Actually the burden is now on the Gnus developers to backport their
changes to the bugfix Gnus branch in your scenario. The actual followup
sync is up to Miles. With CVS this is a bit of a pain (compared to SVN,
Git, etc.) so I hope we can move Gnus development off CVS soon. Not
that I am complaining about backporting, it's not a lot of work, it's
just tedious.

Sure. The online info, however, says:
http://www.gnus.org/distribution.html
"Please note that what you're getting is probably not even a
bleeding-edge Gnus, but a severly hemorrhaging one."
so I think stability is supposed to be an exception, at least when that
was written. We should probably revise gnus.org anyhow, lots of the
information is outdated.
