Some use CCBUG: xxxxx for backports. This is the same as BUG: but without the
command to close the bug.
I think the announcement meant they already had enough bug-fixes to justify a
new release. If your bug-fixes are important for 4.3 you should generally have
backported them already, but better now than never - distributions often use
the stable-branch instead of the last release sources, so it is not a wasted
effort even without a scheduled release.
