I think they're useful (if only I remembered to add them all the
times I should) - it allows someone looking at the commit log to
easily determine that the change is also intended for another branch.
Then one can check and see if it happened or not, and if not, send
a reminder if it is important/needed.

If the pullup annotation is missing, I tend to assume that the change
is not intended to be pulled up - either it isn't applicable, or is
something new that isn't appropriate for older releases.

That's why I will sometimes even include pullup annotations for ancient
versions of NetBSD, even though I know they will never happen (never get
submitted, much less acted upon) - just as an indication that the problem
being fixed exists from long ago.
