We don't retrofit fixes into old branches of Emacs that are no longer
developed; we leave that to the distros (who maintain old Emacs
versions for many more years than we do). At this time, this means
only Emacs 29.x and newer can get such fixes, but not older versions.
(Btw, there's no fix yet, just discussions about what would be the
most appropriate fix.)
