My 2 euro cents (about $0.027) conservative comments on the subject:

- It is more work for a minor issue. I would just update the doc for
previous releases.
- New features belong to new releases, on principles. It is not really a
bug which would require an update of previous releases, and changing the
PATH is a valid workaround anyway.
- Do it your way:-)
