The question I'm posing is if people would like to see those options backported to stein and if so, would the stable team be OK with it? I'd say this falls into a gray area where these are things that are optional, not used by default, and are operational tooling so less risk to backport, but it's not zero risk. It's also worth noting that when I wrote those patches I did so with the intent that people could backport them at least internally.
Backporting features to operator tooling that helps them recover from bugs or other failures without doing database surgery seems like a good thing. Hard to argue that the risk outweighs the benefit, IMHO.
FWIW, I agree with this. #makeitso
