I'd like to answer a ping bdmurry sent me (thanks that might explain why it 
waits to long in the queue!):
[22:19] <bdmurray> cpaelzer: Where did "we agreed to regularly backport those 
to the latest LTS." from bug 1844834

First of all that is the practice for quite a while (almost two years now), see:
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1741390
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1784638
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1813944
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/open-vm-tools/+bug/1822204

The request back then came from the community and the decision back then was 
between VMWare and Ubuntu. VMWare QA Team since then does the qualification of 
these uploads as we (I) don't have a matrix of Host versions for that around.
^^ that is the "agreement" I mentioned

I agree that I sometimes fail to find it listed in [1] where I would expected 
this (and you might have looked there as well). The reason is that so far we 
always concluded that this qualifies for #2 and #3 of [2].
Maybe I should add an entry to [1] that just says so? That might help SRU 
members to identify this case as what it is. What do you think @bdmurray should 
I do that or do you want a wider re-discussion?
