This is a fix for a regression in 3.2 and above.
Yes, in 3.2, so it is old enough. If this were a regression in 3.3, I'd push it for 3.4.

Well, it was late for the 3.4 merge window and it wasn't clear whether or not the patch was a regression fix at that time. It is not very straightforward and in my opinion it should be tested a bit wider before it goes into -stable.
So as I said, v3.5 is the target with whatever -stable trees are relevant at the time the patch is merged.
Thanks, Rafael
