I think what I was asking about was a clearer definition of "within
reason," but so be it.

Please don't mischaracterize what I said. I specifically referred to
fixes as something which should be expected to backport. I have a fleet
of 3.x machines that I don't plan to upgrade any time soon, so I'm
interested in protecting the branch as much as anything else.
I started to type out some kind of response to the rest of your post,
but apparently I've (yet again) stepped on some nerve of yours, so I
will just let it stand at that.
