Agreed.
The problem here (at least for me) was to understand why this (yet to
be reviewed) patch is about implementing a new feature and not about
bugfixing an existing one. So we're exactly in the fog around the
informal backpatch policy, and as long as we're able to continue
talking nicely about it, this seems the finest solution :)

Keep up the amazing work, regards,
