Unfortunately, as can be seen in Bugzilla [1]-[7] to list a few of them, plenty of people do know about them. Unfortunately most of the attempts to fix these issues have usually introduced another one. The current problem is [8]. The change is likely to be on the larger side of what we are normally comfortable with in 6.0.x but lets wait and see exactly how big the change is and what benefits we get (in terms of less fragility, code with test cases for regression testing etc) before deciding how good or bad an idea this porting this will be. At the moment the discussion is rather academic as we don't have a concrete backport to discuss.
