Noted, thanks!

I was asked by users of vfu to get the newer version into stable. There
are many changes in both the internal workings and the display. None of
those prevent the usage of the program nor present a security risk. But
those are fixes that improve the usability and convenience and some of
the changes are significant, e.g. migrating from pcre3 to pcre2. That
is why I believe that a stable update with backported patches wouldn't
be acceptable - the changes are not minimal. And I suggested to prepare
a backport.

In case you feel the backport is not justified, lets drop it, not an
issue for me at all...
