Personally, I think it's good to backport this. I trust Johan here so I
have no objection to taking this for stable trees (nor the other patches
he tagged for stable).

The rules are there for the stable maintainers to say "no" to, not so
much for us to be extremely strict about it at times if it makes sense
to us.
