Then arguably, whoever fixed them should have fixed them in *both*
-stable and -dev.

This tells me the developer intended to fix them in -dev only, knowing
they would be included in the 4.2.6 release.

They won't be dropped, they'll just show up in 4.2.6.

If you think it is important enough to fix these bugs in -stable
instead of waiting for 4.2.6, then
- reopen the bug
- mark the bug as "*requesting* blocking 4.2.4"
And I would rather see us making progress toward getting the 4.2.6
blockers handled so we don't need to backport these bugs to -stable.
