I could miss something but I was not suggesting to cherry-pick. :-) Cherry-picking means use the current packaged version and backport to it the commit(s) fixing the issue. I am suggesting to update the packaged version to the upstream version at commit. But maybe it is not possible because the new upstream has changed some API or whatever breaking some dependants.
