Well if you see the history, it's not really 3 full years of development but 
rather two main changes which lead to:
 1. One bug fix (relevant for users of flatpak in ubuntu too)
 2. Support for homed

Together with other main fixes, but I see the risk here, reason why I
actually included more tests [1] into the integration tests that we had
running in autopkgtests but that we were allowing it to fail (as per bug
2146367), de facto accepting any other potential regression to go
unnoticed (and we've been quite lucky that this did not happen).

The tests are now instead passing and checking more things, including
further fixes (e.g. for bug 2146366).

However, while I feel that the homed support and the additional fixes
for flatpaks could be useful for the LTS users, I'd be fine if we'd go
with the fixes that are part of 23.13.9-8ubuntu3 (in queue ATM) together
with further fixes for lp:2146151, lp:2146367 and lp:2146352.

In fact, while those fixes have been already prepared for the current
ubuntu version [2], my feeling was that it would be safer to just use
the upstream-released version that is being tested by other distros too
and from which it would be easier to pick potential (security) upstream
fixes int the next years, in a so relevant component.
