I know this is not what you asked ;-), but ...  At a minimum, when considering backporting to the previous LTS, it would be good to also consider porting to the latest shipping (or soon to be shipping) non-LTS release, .e.g in this case 16u. It’s desirable that there be a reasonable verification and migration path from prior releases to an update of the-latest-major-release.
