I calculate it at about 8 months at the point of that commit before the 1.0.2 release. IIRC 1.0.2 had a very long and protracted release period. It actually went into beta at the end of February 2014. Shortly afterwards heartbleed hit and we had our minds on other things for a bit, so it didn't get released until January 2015. The 1.0.2 branch was in "feature freeze" during that whole period - so that is almost certainly the reason why this wasn't backported. Perhaps if we had realised in May 2014 that we weren't going to release 1.0.2 for another 8 months then we might have made different decisions.
