Absolutely - it is definitely worth doing. I've said this multiple times, and at no point have I said otherwise. The *way* this needs to be done is with a minimal patch, so as to minimise regressions for other users, as per SRU policy. But nobody has brought such a patch forward.

I have not asked the SRU team. Instead, I'm going on my familiarity with SRU procedure, which is well documented (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates). But if you would like to consult them, then please do. Exceptions can be made. For the venue?
