Opposite of -stable maintainers requests?

I remember seeing something from the stable maintainers asking people not to let fixes sit in the -next tree and instead promptly send them to -rc?
Now Linus says let some fixes say in -next because we don't want to destablize the release.
Yet the moment rc1 comes out the stable maintainers will automatically backport all of those held back fixes to the .1 stable branch release?
