No worries; the intent was that it be backported to stable, and I
don't really care with path it takes.
I just wanted to make sure there wouldn't be confusion if you
backported it to stable, and then Greg tried and then got a merge
conflict. (Or worse, if the patch was one of the ones where it can be
successfully applied *twice* w/o a patch conflict; I'm not sure if git
cherry-pick is smarter than patch in this regard, but I don't think it
is?)
