The 'issue' with a backport is noted in the IMPORTANT NOTE above. My concern is that adding cc:stable will have it automatically picked up and this would make things worse than they are in 6.3. My 'plan' was to not add the cc:stable, but manually create a patch for 6.3 once this goes upstream. Honestly, I am not sure what is the best way to deal with this. I could also try to catch the email about the automatic backport and say 'no, use this new patch instead'. -- Mike Kravetz
