Right. But it seems to me it has been there all those years? Does the

wrong on the older branches as well!
I bet if I put the special pattern into an old branch, then ran the
testcase it'd probably trigger.
But if you think it is too dangerous to backport, let's not.
It should be crazy safe. Not a tall worried about it being dangerous.
More a case of not seeing a lot of value given how narrow the problem is.
Please just do the usual then? git cherry-pick -x $some_hash on the
release branches, and push it if that works flawlessly? And if it
doesn't, *that* is a good reason to skip backporting it, sure :-)
Well, the usual for something like this is to wait, at least for me.
