My current UI shows this as relevant *only* to 3.4 and 3.5.  If it really has 
been fixed in 3.6, and the fix can't be backported, I think the risk of 
breaking backup programs is enough to argue for doing nothing more than a doc 
change.  Anyone still using 3.4 (or even 3.5) *and* able to install from source 
is likely to be more upset by unexpected (and possibly silent) breakage of an 
existing process than new exploits of a 6 year old bug.  

That said, I'm probably the wrong person to verify which versions are affected, 
so consider this as only soft support for Release Manager to do so if this 
continues to languish.
