I don't have an opinion on this.
The "rule" has been to keep backports restricted to bug fixes only, but
we have a history of backporting various refactorings to make branch
maintenance easier.
From my perspective, the two things cancel each other out, and I end up
with no opinion.

Before I start the process of preparing the release files for the first release
of the 13.07 series and call a vote on it I would like to get your feedback on
a couple of topics.
Should we backport to it the recent switch to Java 7?
Should we backport to it the recent update to Log4j2?
The main reason I am asking this is that once we release the first release out
of 13.07, for sure we will not backport the aforementioned upgrades (because
they are not bugs); however the 13.07 releases will stay with us for at least 2
years and it would be nice to do the migration to these new technologies now.
Thanks in advance,
Jacopo
