A fix that is beta-quality for a non-serious issue (serious issues being of 
the level of the VACUUM/CLOG issue) is, in my mind at least, not for 
inclusion into a _stable_ release.  Simple fixes (the localtime versus mktime 
fix) might be doable, but might not depending upon the particular fix, how 
difficult the packport, etc.  But 7.2 is considered _stable_ -- and I agree 
that this means maintenance mode only.  Only the most trivial or the most 
serious problems should be tackled here.
