Agreed, the discussion previously was about incompatible source version
upgrades... and the overall decision was that it would only ever be allowed if
it was the only sane way to resolve a security issue (i.e. the branch is dead
upstream, and trying to backport/patch would do more harm than good.). If
there is no known compatibility issues with upping the source there shouldn't
be a problem.
