OK, I must have misunderstood. Let me summarize how I understand this
after reading your last email, and re-reading some previous ones and
looking at the commit:

The new mobile skins 'overrule' the old skins, currently without an
option to go back to the way it was. This means that people who rely
on the old skins now have to go into their app and make changes. Your
fix reduces these changes to just adding compiler arg, that then
instantiates a class that tricks the version check to 'read' the
current platform as an older version.

That sounds like a fix to me, that will prevent users of 4.14 not
having the option to use the legacy skins which their apps may rely
on.

You may proceed ;-) Without carrying the extra commits!

The point of asking people to test is to make sure that we're
releasing a stable and good quality SDK, without any regressions or
new blocking bugs. Everything else is regular development, takes place
on 'develop' and unfortunately must wait for the next release. Which
does nothing to diminish the value of the contribution of testers
whose bugs are not fixed in the current release, as they will be a
valuable contribution to the next one.
