I thought that patches that clean up code but don’t fix actual bugs were not done in stable branches. Has this changed?

I hope not. Sure, if they fix actual bugs, that's fine, but as MvL often points out, even innocent looking changes can break code somewhere. We don't lose by being conservative with our stable branches.
