It is "critical" in the sense of it fixes a long standing bug people had to hack around for months with things like this: http://git.infradead.org/?p=users/hch/xfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=ea8d9cd0eb485c53eac01a3cf8524278381c31ee it also is trivial in terms of code. Not including it would be a really strange decision.
