Backports are not used by default, and the backports archive is for when you
want to give users the choice of the old vs the new behavior.

My argument is that for a development tool, we should expect the trunk
behavior consistently, and anything else is a bug; hence I believe it's
suitable for SRU.

Alternatively it could be distributed to Ubuntu developers as a snap (and
therefore be release-agnostic).

I think that is highly unlikely at this point.
