Yes, indeed. They introduced getBooleanObject method with the backport
of 8077102 and made it private for some reason. This class is an
internal class so keeping it public wouldn't have affected the public
API. getBooleanObject was originally introduced by 8029995 and was public.

Your backport looks good to me.

I believe we will need a CSR before having the approval.

Thanks,
Martin.-
