It's almost certainly impossible to get 1.15.1 into a point release of stretch. I think though the interesting question is whether this fix should go into stretch. In general, only important or release critical fixes can be included after the freeze. When you filed this bug as normal rather than important, I assumed you were saying that when you considered the severity it really met the criteria for important severity. I was on the fence about the issue, and decided to take your lead. Without real users actually claiming the issue met the criteria for important, I wasn't going to push for it or do the work to prepare a fix for stretch.
So, how big of a deal is this for you and your organization? How easy is the work around of not relying on DNS to deploy?
