Hi Goetz,

This is the same logic behind Maria's attempt to port NMT changes to 11, which you blocked. We did not explicitly talk about 17. If you, as maintainer, feel 17 should be feature stable and we should not downport NMT changes, then that is fine with us. In that case, we would abort the attempt to downport any missing NMT changes.
