For me, this is really key. We absolutely have to put out 1.4.x and
1.3.x patches, per our current support claims. Let's focus on doing a
1.4.x and 1.3.x FIRST.
That said, Erik has backported the changes to the older release
streams. I'm personally willing to build an environment and do the
testing on each. I'd assume that 1.2 would be higher priority than
1.1, which would be higher priority than 1.0, but someone (Erik?)
indicated that 1.1 might have a wider distribution at the moment.
After 1.4.x and 1.3.x are wrapped up, let's tackle the older releases
in some sort of priority order -- if downstream package maintainers
really want a patch, it's already available from our repository.

Erik has done this work.

This -- not insignificant -- work remains outstanding.
