The list of rules on what kind of patches are accepted, and which ones are not into the “-stable” tree, did not mention anything about new features and let the reader use its own judgement. One may be under the impression that new features are not accepted at all, but that's not true: new features are not accepted unless they fix a reported problem. Update documentation with missing rule.

Are there any other examples of problems that can "only" be solved by introducing new features? Or new huge features that are virtually harder to backport?

Here's an example: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/20221222083545.1972489-1-tudor.ambarus@...
