For a low-impact and ralatively old issue like this, it is OK for a fix to use supporting code that only exists in more recent codebase and become unmergeable to anything older than the concurrent 'maint' track as of the time when the fix is written. Even though it is sometimes nicer if the fix were written to be mergeable to codebase near the point where the issue originates, it is often not worth doing so if it requires bending backwards to refrain from using a newer and more convenient facility. Thanks for catching my wishful thinking and carelessness before it propagated to 'next'. I try to check tips of individual topic branches and also the integratoin result, but sometimes I get trusting too much and get sloppy when dealing with too many topics in flight.
