Isn't that the whole point of open source and RedHat being able to do with the code what it wishes as long as it meets the requirements of the license? So are you claiming that RedHat doesn't/won't do this? Is incapable of doing this? Or am I missing something?

That is in fact exactly what people pay Red Hat to do, and it was my job
to do it for Postgres when I worked there.  I don't work there any more,
but I'm sure my replacement is entirely capable of back-patching fixes as
needed.
