Why isn't this in 4.4-stable?  I can't take it into 3.14-stable unless I
also have it in 4.4, otherwise it would be a regression when people
upgraded, right?

And if this isn't in 4.4-stable, why not?  I'm guessing that the authors
didn't think it was necessary...

Or maybe someone missed the above text?

Anyway, I'm not going to do anything with this until I learn more...
