I think we mostly avoid backpatching changes that can cause significant
planning changes, because the consequences for existing systems could be
catastrophic -- even if the known plan changes are beneficial. IMO you
need to spend a lot more effort in showing that this can't possibly harm
anything, before backpatching.
Personally I can see getting this in 18beta2 without too much additional
arguing for it. But for 15-17 you'd need a lot more support than is
evident in this thread.
