+1!

> It also happens to be backported to the 7.8 branch, but that does not change anything about a need to report it for 8.0 since that's really the main focus after the 7.8.0 release. I'm just not sure how this should work in the state when we branch out for release, but there is no release yet (the current 8.0 vs 8.2 state).

FWIW, I have assigned milestones to all open PRs (feel free to shift
