Myself, I generally only backport bugfixes (some XFree86 committers don't bother to do this for a stable release branch).
Nothing needs to be backported. The HEAD version is unified for all versions since 4.1.
It appears, though, that DanielS is not as conservative. I guess we'll see how that works out in this case; in general it's a pretty bad strategy, as we've seen occasionally.
