I do not know where 89c0b113a0 came from; 742ae10e (test: correct detection of UTF8_NFD_TO_NFC for APFS, 2018-04-30) smells similar. We usually do not touch releases that old and only merge security-relevant changes. I do not think these two qualifies. Distros of course are free to cherry-pick on top of what we release as v2.17.6 or whatever.
