Personally I prefer to revert the compat bumps when doing backports for
stretch (like in [1]) as I like to to keep the impact on the stable
system as minimal as possible. Pulling in a newer i-s-h is a rather
significant change. Thankfully not as significant as we had between
jessie → stretch. So a backport of i-s-h might indeed be feasible on a
cursory glance.
