Bugfixes on stable aren't only about the simplicity of the bug but
about its severity. If the bug is serious enough and it potentially
affects enough people, it should go on stable, provided the fix
doesn't break API.

Yes and yes, I believe. In fact, I think we should release 3.6.3 this month.
The source code reorganisation is no trouble for merges. Hg tracks
file renames (unlike a well-known competitor), so files moving around
cause no great hassle.
