by the benefits.Are you sure we need to backpatch all these changes ?I'm not talking about the job I'll have but the job the committer will have.There are almost 300 different section numbers and more than 700 places will be changed,so will be 700 multiplied by how many versions of it. Are you sure ?I changed 8 or 10 just for testing and sending two as an example, just to see if it's worthwhile.Environment Variables need to change source and target, 30 places.String constants just source part, easy to change but harder to verify all related parts.
These changes aren't going to be back-patched. The concern stated is that given all the places being touched, the odds of future back-patches hitting one of them and resulting in a conflict has increased substantially.
