Yeah, sort of, I think, since they come from the findutils group themselves and are now released with/for the current version as fixes.
One is find -exec does not pass all arguments for certain specific filename lengths. In otherwise, consider a buffer overrun problem where not all - or -- 'switches' are actioned.
The other is relates to searching 'dynamic' filesystems where the record is in the system now, but may be moved or gone by the time you want to use it. Best example is to think of a raid system, where it nowadays rearanges itself as it needs to to deal with defrag's. Some of the latest SSD's do this internally.

Hi, thank you for your ongoing build testing and upstream review / cherry picking work. In general we try to keep t2 vanilla and similar and avoid custom patches. They should be in the next findutils release, right? Is it far away? Does something in t2 currently break not having the -exec fix? Just trying to find out if it is very important to import them now before the next upstream release. Thanks!

And yes one relates back to 4.4.2, but it's still has been awaiting 'absorbtion' until now and is still required. Both are from the Findutils git against 4.6.0 and are suppose to be 'absorbed' when 4.7.0 arrives. Please wait for Rene to release them before using. regards
