Thank Steve, you are right under that POV it would fall under the
(virtual) HW enablement category.
So not backports but a real SRU, that is beneficial for more people if
done right.
Thanks for sharing your SRU expert hat thoughts.

So it comes down to a matter of:
- developing some more extended regression checks to have more
confidence in such updates
- allocating time to do the regular updates (maybe quarterly, but even
less frequent is better than no updates)

Looking at my next things I need to do - I don't see me doing these
open-vm-tools updates very soon (mostly for the lack of good
regression checks atm) so any help is welcome, but I keep it on my
todo-list to pick it up when I can.
