I tried to backport them, but beside the mentioned merge request I
need a number of other patches which feels like creating a zombie.
Due to the complexity I cannot prove whether the result is valid.

Would this help other users of Scarthgap? I thought that the mixin
layers are intended to bring new features to a stable layer. But
in this case there is a serious bug (race condition in the memory
management routines) of a major piece of software. Every multi
threaded application based on Glib is potentially affected. On
my system it's NetworkManager, but I also read about Firefox.

I've already cherry picked the Styhead updates into my private
repo, but I feel this should also be updated in the LTS tree somehow.

regards,
Christian
