I thought it to be a bit too many changes all over the place, that's all. Afterall, the development version is for development work while the released one is ostensibly only for bug fixes (and I don't think work on experimental and by default disabled features really count as bug fixes).
Guess it could be ok if we look them through carefully, though; inserting a few PRINTPIKEINT and PRINTPIKEFLOAT here and there isn't exactly rocket science.
Besides, it's probably a bit of work to collect and backport the various fixes for this that has accumulated in 7.5 over time.

There are numerous fixes for that in 7.5 so I suggest you continue your hunt there. I doubt it's feasible to backport all that to make longer ints and doubles work flawlessly in 7.4.
Why not in 7.4? It may take ages before 7.5 (7.6?) will be considered as stable as 7.4, while fixing this stuff seems not to be too difficult.
Finally I managed to compile 7.5, there are no problems with long long type (at least tests are OK), but as for me it would be nice to have it in 7.4-stable (I am a bit in doubt to use 7.5 in production environment).
