There is a difference between being conservative with fixes for minor issues and fixes for issues that can fry peoples hardware, don't you think? Of course care is needed for such changes and I would certainly encourage a careful review and possibly some contact with upstream maintainers to get a better feeling for feasibility and possible risks. The sooner some action is taken on this, the earlier a kernel could be uploaded (or made available for testing) and a call for testing be done on the appropriate lists. If patches do cause regressions there would still be time to revert them. After all, this is an RC issue and the release will wait for it.
