Fixing a bug doesn't automatically mean something should be accepted.
We have to consider the risks of other issues the change introduces
too, along with whether it fits with general direction. Backporting
feature is specifically not allowed without an exception being made.

In this case you're talking about something we specifically removed in
master, so adding it to the LTS release seems like a backwards step, at
least from where I see this having not looked into it all in detail.

Cheers,
