I'm not sure that I *want* a formal written-down backpatch policy.
Whether (and how far) to backpatch has always been a best-judgment call
in the past, and we've gotten along fine with that.  I think having a
formal policy is just likely to lead to even more complaints: either
patching or not patching could result in second-guessing by someone
who feels he can construe the policy to match the result he prefers.
