That'd be mostly question for the stable guys I guess. I am not sure how
often did they in the past have to say "sorry, the backport is horribly
complex, so we are not backporting the fix and we're keeping the bug
unfixed".
Greg, is this something that actually has been happening for real in the
past? Or would that absolutely break the expectations that stable tree
consumers have?
Thanks,
