It's not just the bugfix.  I upgraded to see if there was a fix, and
realized that there were a whole host of new features (and the UI has
been improved quite a bit).  I decided that the backport was worth
sharing.

No.  I filed the bug (which was closed, sigh) so that someone
who hit the bug could decide if they wanted to fix it or upgrade to the
backport.  However, I'm not interested in fixing it in stable; the
backport is much nicer to use.
