It sounds like the only reasonable option we are left with right now is to
document.

Even if we enabled/removed the backport, it would take time until users can
get their hands on a new cut of the stable branch.

We would need to be more diligent in the future and limit backports to just
bug fixes to prevent situations like this from occurring, or maybe we need
to have better testing...um...definitely the latter :)
