Let it be broken. As soon as someone complains about it being broken, then bug the maintainer again. "Hey, this is broken in 4.x, and this looks like the fix for it. Do you agree?" I agree that some patches don't need this discussion. Things that are obvious. Off-by-one and stack-overflow and other bugs like that. Or another common bug is error paths that don't release locks. These should just be backported. But subtle fixes like this thread should default to (not backport unless someones complains or the author/maintainer acks it). -- Steve
