Is there anyone who would actually benefit from this being fixed in an SRU?

I appreciate the report from @wycitox incox and I understand that this resulted in a fix in newer releases, so that was very helpful - thank you! However, I don't see any actual request for this to be fixed in 22.04, and for the use case presented as Docker containers, a typical Docker-based workflow doesn't involve anyone typically depending on comments in the output Docker image, right?

If there is someone who actually would benefit from this, then sure, let's SRU into the LTS. Please let us know! But I haven't seen anyone asking for this, and so why would we take any risk of regression at all in case the regexp change affects some other unexpected use case. Given that nobody else appears to have noticed this for years and years, isn't it sufficient to just fix it in the next release as already has been done?
