Comment (by dd32):

 > I'm not sure I love the idea of backporting this. Backporting backwards
 incompatible changes isn't something that should be done except in
 security situations.

 I'm not too worried about this as we do backport major bugs often. This is
 the sort of thing that would be done in a .1 or .2 without question, of
 course with 4.5's imminent release 4.4.x is now heading to security-fixes
 only area which is where this becomes a bit more of a grey area.
 The only reason I support backporting it, is because it's a fairly big
 change that anyone who is affected by it would be far more happy to just
 change it for all versions, rather than version-detect.
