This bug was not a critical security bug, it was a bit of annoyance for widget 
users. Actual task was done fine, file was renamed, just resulted in unnecessary 
error message. 

In such case I would say it would be very nice to backport it, but I would set 
low priority on that task. If new release would be close, I would be very much 
inclined to let it go and tell everybody to update to latest stable.  

Throw anger and an insult or two in the mix, and the inclination would force 
the decision. 

BTW, I personally need to calm myself down every time somebody uses "WTF" in 
an email. You may see it as harmless, but I see a man shouting at me in anger, 
which I don't like. Luckily, I'm not offended by that, indirect nature of 
internet communication makes people less emphatic, but some may be.
