No. The general rule is that we only fix regressions and documentation/tests on
release branches.  As Darwin maintainer, I include fixes for build/ABI problems
in back-ports (where they only effect Darwin).

Any new feature like blocks support would be much more invasive than that, so
definitely have to wait for GCC-15.

Like other "vendors", I maintain external branches for Darwin that have more
relaxed rules - allowing port-critical back ports that would not be acceptable
upstream,

However, first we have to complete this work and bring it forward to trunk ..
then we can worry about back ports to older branched ;)
