 Replying to [comment:4 khromov]:

 I understand, but what are the alternatives:

 1. "Hack" TinyMCE's core by backporting the fix. This will be quite
 complex; might work for one old version and fail for another; may bring
 other regressions that would be hard to detect, so we will end up breaking
 something else.

 2. Update TinyMCE in old WordPress versions. This may need updating other
 components like mce-view.js and may break (older) TinyMCE plugins that are
 added by WordPress plugins. Chances are it will work on some sites but
 introduce regressions on others.

 3. Resolving the existing problems and updating WordPress. This is the
 preferred solution as it also means things are going to continue working
 properly in the future.

 Note that this is not a typical WordPress problem. Example: you're running
 a company that has 100 employees and each has a computer. All the
 computers run WinXP as you have an old but important piece of software
 that would be harder (or expensive) to replace/update. Now another
 important piece of software requires Windows10 to continue working
 properly.

 What would you do? :)
