The problem is that we use those back branches as templates for new
minor releases. I could have just done 8.2.X but I figured I should be
consistent.

I am not sure why it affects back branch updates. The way I create back
branches is to modify release.sgml in HEAD and then copy that file to
the back branches, and cutt off the top part of release.sgml for the
appropriate branch.

Also I also don't understand why you are threatening to revert it before
even complaining about it to me.
