As I understand what Rick wrote:

) No *.*-RELEASE supports such. (No releng/*.* branch has such code.)

) Modern 15.0-STABLE supports such (stable/15 branch has such code).

) Modern 16.0-CURRENT supports such (main branch has such code).

Are you in a situation that allows use of the likes of some commit of,
say, 15.0-STABLE ( branch stable/15 )?

If you must have a *.*-RELEASE instead, you have to wait for
15.1-RELEASE to be available.
