Great to see this PR. Thanks @cjcenizal ! We should really strive to not have different code base between 7.x and 8.x. Specially with any reusable piece of code.
The reasoning is that it is extremely difficult to remember all the little nuances between the branches, if any new dev joins the team he won't know them, backport could potentially break (and we need to know the nuances to correctly fix them to avoid regressions). It is true that 7.16.x should receive little patches (hopefully) but I think it is good to have a common approach and stick to it. Be it for a single minor to support (like now) or the full range of minors coming in 8.x.

👍 Yep, that's why this is being forward-ported. We missed it originally.
