Keeping TEXT explain stable across minor versions is very appealing, but more
so from a policy standpoint than a technical one.  The real-world implication
is probably quite small, but that's a very unscientific guess (searching Github
didn't turn up anything but thats far from conclusive).  Having broken JSON is
however a clear negative, and so is having a different JSON format in back-
branches for something which has never worked in the first place.

I guess I'm leaning towards backpatching, but it's not entirely clear-cut.
