Honestly I don't really consider such issue worth a backport, and it's not
really bringing any new feature to the table (at least, you are not
describing anything).

I was thinking that perhaps this could be done as part of an SRU, but the
relevant patch is just huge, so probably not either...


Other BPO team members: what do you think?
