And now we end up with the age old problem which was the root of the LTS 
discussions earlier: Normal installations are regularly upgraded to new 
releases (at least mine).
It appears we have two strategies in the community:
- stay with the original version of the installation as long as 
possible, only do patch level updates. As a result hooks need to be 
backported to be able to use them.
- upgrade regularly. As a result hooks become available and need not be 
backported (and as a bonus new features in the core become available too).

Maybe we could assign the task of backporting hooks (and other features 
which are requested in later threads) also to the lucky person who will 
do the backports of various things to LTS versions?
