Because this looks rather as a new feature than a bug fix. We don't add new 
features in maintained versions.

Always there is a risk of introducing a regression. We don't know what bugs are 
contained in 64-bit size support on different platforms. I would not be 
surprised if for example some old macOS versions accept size_t, but work 
correctly only with the 32-bit size.
