 Replying to [comment:19 wildworks]:
 > What is the reason to backport the patch to `6.9`? It looks like it's
 something related to local development.

 In general, the goal is always to keep the underlying build tools and
 environments as consistent as reasonably possible across all branches
 eligible to receive security updates. This ensures contributors can switch
 branches to test how a bug was introduced, how something behaved
 differently, etc.

 I don't have strong feelings around how far to backport this one. I lean
 towards backporting to 6.9 only for now as that branch is actively
 supported and using xDebug to investigate a problem is more likely. Unless
 something is broken, tooling-related changes are typically backported
 together to avoid creating noise unnecessarily. I'm not sure that there
 are any other changes to backport at this time. We could always include
 this the next time there is a grouped backport.

 Someone would need to go back to 4.7 and verify that the changes work as
 expected on both platforms before we can consider going back past 6.9,
 though.
