So in general, there is no need to back port this to a previous release branch. Unless it fixed a compelling bug in that release branch, or was possibly incidental to some other fix that did, it should not be back ported. A private vendor release branch or a personal branch, well, they can do what they want on it, the owner would have to weigh in.
