No worries. To clarify, the term "cherry-picked" refers to the opposite: Hand-picking a change from one branch, and bringing it over into another.
In order to have a relatively stable release each month, around or about the last Wednesday of each month, the MAME codebase is forked into a separate release branch on the Saturday before that Wednesday. This is the point at which any new ROM sets will absolutely not be supported, but there's still a window of time where relatively innocuous fixes can still be hand-picked - "cherry-picked" - into the release branch.
In this case, a total of 3 fixes to the driver (one layout-related, one sound-related, and one video-playback-related) were made after the release branch had been forked off, but the changes were all low-impact enough that they were able to be individually brought into the release branch.

Re: FYI, looks like the final fixes *were* cherry-picked into the release branch *nt*
