find it fixed already in upstream, then specifically request it to be

backported to stable.

I don't need this fix to be backported, already got it. Someone else

might though.

The "someone else might though" is a big point of asking for it to
added to stable. The other reason is it means one less patch you need
to maintain in your build.

Hi Dave,

Can you please add the fix [1] to stable?

Thank you,
