To be clear, what I was proposing was upgrading to a snapshot of the
9.11 branch, not upgrading all the way to 9.16.
Good that you clarified. I guessed that this was what you meant. I personally think a snapshot version of 9.11 may be a way to go.
But it is a little risky, since the user-base for such a snapshot version is so far very small. We cannot rely on that others have used that version.
On the other hand, backporting individual patches is also risky. Especially if they are big, which some of these were.
Either way, we need to be careful to test it well.
