I would be happy to see it backported to 3.0. It does not affect runtime
code and does not affect old configs, so it should be safe.
Eventually, things like that would go into the next minor release (i.e.,
v3.1 in this case). Currently we have too many disruptive features going
into minor releases and cannot release them often enough for the "keep
the subreleases free of new features" scheme to work well.

Sounds like a good idea to me, _considering_ being the operative word.
We do not have a list of 1000 features to go through, so it does not
have to be rigid and formal. We can decide on a case-by-case basis.
