 I am aware of the bug, but that wasn't the question. I meant why _this_
bug ... what makes it so important that it had to be backported without
talking to any of the maintainers?
 Are you going to do more F16 backports for upstream bugfixes? How many?
For which bugs?
 I assume you are planning on pushing them to stable, eventually ... so
how many updates do you think users want? etc. etc.

 Because that's not the way patches are normally added to a package.
Which I assumed you knew.
