    The migration of such fixes into earlier releases is very much a manual
process (0).  The change for -10 might be appropriate (to my non-authoritative
eyes), but the change for -9 probably isn't.  You might want to follow up on
bug #1037588 (1), where there is a start on SRU processing for quantal.
In this specific case, I suspect it unlikely that the change will be processed,
based on my reading of the current bug comments, although with the status set
to "Incomplete", I do not believe a final determination has yet been made,
and is likely pending preparation of a quantal-specific patch along with
comprehensive test results documenting the impact, etc. as required by the
SRU process.
