I don't have a strong opinion on it, but I think generally that clean up patches (where we aren't fixing some kind of document mistake or
misleading information) generally just go into HEAD for the next
release, though if it easily applies cleanly to back branches and you
want to do it, it's probably ok to apply it backwards, but I wouldn'= ;t
spend any time on it if it didn't.

I was under the impression that on both us= er-facing behavior changes grounds, and translation grounds, back-patching = changes to existing messages is not allowed absent a true factual bug.
