Hi Thomas, since the change didn't modify any existing classes, I'm weakly in favor of backporting. My reluctance mainly stems from possible disappointments from 1.13 users that use an earlier bugfix level. So we need to make documentation clear.
In general, I'm seeing connectors as something extra (and plan to make that more transparent), so I think we have more freedom for backports there in contrast to other components. But it would be good to hear other opinions on that matter.
