I think this came up in conversation but wasn't necessarily made official policy yet -- my understanding is that we are (already) endeavouring to avoid c++11isms in bug fixes, along with the usual principle of fixing bugs in the smallest/neatest patch we can. Perhaps in cases where those of us working on master mistakenly put something un-backportable in a bug fix, it would be reasonable for the backporter to point it out and poke us for a clean version of the patch.
