I'll consider backporting features that have been accepted upstream only. Just point me at the relevant commits in the upstream git repo.
Comment 2 Andrea Postiglione 2020-01-11 16:59:49 UTC

Have these features been accepted upstream?

You're the one asking for the backport, so you should really try to make my job as easy as possible.

It appears the patch you linked is part of a larger patch series. Reading the links "carefully" would not have told me that.

It appears we need all commits in the range 528938d503088ce0e2fe7d83f8f711efefaed0fd..365e0cc3e7e44151c14dd29514c2f870b49f9755

Back-porting this is going to be too difficult due to the changes in the bootstrap config. We could do a snapshot instead.
