I don’t personally think this (or for other commit on that serie) hits that bar 
for being required in stable release. This ends up being counterproductive 
having stable release with a huge amount of commits that are not really 
required, and it ends up being a reason for people not to move to stable 
release. 
But if you are really convinced, ok to follow your reco.
