No, it's about scrolling not by a fixed amount of lines but by
individual pixels depending on how strongly you press the trackpoint.
More like modern touchpads work.

Yes, as soon as it gets into master (given that 6.8 has just been
released it will be soon), I'll make sure it will be included in
stable (either automatically or manually).
