Re: Request for help - Fix issue backport query.

Note that the date of this commit is *between* 11.0 (Oct 2016) & 11.1 release (Jule 2017). 11.4 was released much later, in June 2020. See https://www.freebsd.org/releases/

My guess is the commit was made only on the devel. (or -CURRENT or master or main) branch. The 12.0 release would be cut from this main branch, probably sometime in 2018. So neither 12.0 or 11.4 existed at the time of the commit.

My guess is it was not back ported to any previous branch. Presumably because this was complicated enough that it would require major testing to make sure nothing else breaks or may be it was not deemed critical at the time. But I am only guessing....
