I don't think this patch is suitable for stable branches. This patch

It
should be seen as a new feature. It is not a bug fix.
Applying this patch without other patches in the same series will also
introduce problems, because this patch relies on part of the changes
in the subsequent patch in the same series to be correct.
Hi Martin,
It's better that we avoid using words like "fix" in non-bug-fix
patches, and make every patch work on its own without subsequent
patches. Otherwise we'll make people confused.
Yes, you are right.
