Whoah, I would caution against doing that without being very confident
it won't break when installed under things like VServer, Linux
Containers, SELinux configurations, etc, when back-porting it. I don't
expect people would be too pleased to discover their "nice, simple,
no-expected-issues" upgrade of a minor point release to all of a sudden
mean their database doesn't start anymore..
Sorry I havn't got time right now to run down the issue I had with
OpenSSH doing something similar, and it might have just been poor coding
in OpenSSH, but I wanted to voice my concern.
Thanks,
Stephen
