I don't think we quite have an established protocol for this. I personally, but I'm biased in this specific case, is that we should adopt a position that PGDLLIMPORTs should basically backpatched whenever a credible extension even halfway reasonably requires it. There's no easy way to get this done by default, and we're so far unwilling to just slap this onto every variable. So to not further disadvantage people force dto live in the MS environment, that seems the sanest solution. It's not like these are high risk.

I'm all in favour of backports to the last supported release or the first one the variable appeared in.
