I'd go for fixing it properly back to 8.1. 8.1 is the oldest version
people still put into production with new applications IMHO (due
mainly to its inclusion in current versions of RHEL and SLES).

I'm not sure it's worth it to backport it to older versions. It seems
like a minor problem and older versions I still see in production
usually aren't running the latest minor version anyway. I can't
measure the time needed to write the wrapper functions though. If it's
just a matter of a couple of minutes and it's not risky, perhaps it's
better to fix it right now.
