1. We don't backport features. 2. In general we don't bump dependencies, unless they are for critical bug fixes.
3. We weight the risk of new regression vs bug fixes. To state the obvious, we wouldn't backport a bug fix if it only affects a very small number of use cases but require very complex changes. There is huge gray zone in between here that'd rely on committer's judgement.
