The written stable guidelines don't really reflect what's going on with
stable these days at all, these days it's very aggressive with what it
backports.  Personally I tend to be a lot more conservative than this
and would tend to agree that this isn't a great candidate for
backporting but people seem OK with this sort of stuff.
