I would push the patch to master first, if no one complains, and see if
users are happy. In case of positive feedback I suggest to cherry-pick
the patch to 26.2.
If you do *not* cherry-pick to 26.2, please remember to fix up the
`@since LibreOffice 26.2` from
<https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/2ce3901e754a8968bf667dbcfca3846e8acf5229%5E%21>
"Resolves tdf#160096 [API CHANGE] - Improve data validity handling" to
read `@since LibreOffice 26.8` instead.
And please also remember to add the change to either
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/26.2#API_Changes> or
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/26.8#API_Changes>,
whichever will turn out to be the right one.
