I don't think that we seeked the stable RM's approval for any previous upload that introduced a new upstream version, Yves-Alexis, do you remember? AFAIK if the securiy team is OK with the new upstream release on security.debian.org, then it's good enough. It's a matter of doing the right thing for our users. And I believe that everybody in the wordpress community (developers and users alike) want to have the latest version since that's the only one truly supported. Craig has been doing much more backporting work than what I used to do in the past and it would be sad to impose him stricter rules just because he made the efforts that I did not do at that time.
