Approval request for 8004316

[Phil Race]

I believe the process on requesting a backport is that the 8 code approvers
need to be CC'd and that the 7 release managers should be enforcing this.

In this email there's basically no justification of the need for a backport
and I heartily disapprove of backporting  8004316. Its not that important
and minimally should bake a long time in 8. We do not have resources in 7 to
deal with regressions.
