It could. That said, properly testing fixes on older releases takes
additional time and effort, and I prefer not to add Cc: qemu-stable@
unless I've verified the fix against those versions myself. I
appreciate you taking care of the stable evaluation, but I prefer to
keep my focus on master. Imho, we should not rush backports before
they have received a little bit more testing, it could introduce
regressions - the opposite of what I'd expect from -stable...
