But they were targetted at 2.4! After all I did add news entries to
doc/en/release-notes/bzr-2.4.txt, not out of reflex but because that's
where I intended them to land. If I didn't think they were suitable for
2.4 I certainly wouldn't have done that.
I think a quick inspection would have made it clear that those patches
are safe for 2.4: they only affect selftest after all.

I didn't notice that part of the message, I guess I didn't pay attention
to the “p.s.” buried at the end. A direct heads up to people whose
patches may have been affected would probably work better. Much like if
I change an API that's likely to affect bzr-svn I try to tell Jelmer
about it rather than let him discover it some time later the hard way :)
It's not strictly necessary but it's a low effort action that helps us
keep working smoothly.
I've submitted a backport of those two patches now. It seems likely
that all the other changes in that gap ought to be submitted too, after
checking that their release-notes entries are still in the appropriate
place.
