[ruby-core:116291] backport version order policy (was: Re: [Ruby master Bug#20150] Memory leak in grapheme clusters)

Hello everybody (but in particular Tomoyuki Chikanaga and Yui Naruse),

I was under the impression that backports of bug fixes had to "trickle 
down", i.e. first being applied in the main branch, then 3.3, then 3.2, 
and so on (of course unless they were not needed for a specific branch).

The above "3.2: DONE, 3.3: REQUIRED" shows that the backport first 
occurred in 3.2, before 3.3.

Can somebody please confirm or restate the actual backport policy now in 
effect?

Thanks and regards,    Martin.
