Are these changes so low-level that this version cannot be shipped with
both? Can they not be catched with an if on
qgis.utils.QGis.QGIS_VERSION_INT or a small try-except-block?

I think this is a broader topic of what is the policy for core plugins,
do they receive updates throughout the maintenance period of a given
release? Are bugfixes to processing for 2.8 shipped at the moment and
how (plugin repository or with the binary)?
