Neither PR is a regression and defined assignment is so fundamentally incorrect, where defined assignment of components is concerned, that sticking plaster patches do not warrant a backport. You could try appealing to the gfortran mailing list. If it is OK'd there, I would be happy to backport to 14-branch. For the same reasons, I decided not to add the testcase after all.
