The code is fairly well isolated and don't think there will be any downside. Considering the utility of the functionality and that 7.9 is likely to be in development for the foreseeable future, I think it's worth doing.
not an objection, just an observation: since you were planning another release in a few months, the lifetime of 7.9 shouldn't matter. the backport could be done for the next 7.8 release after the current one too.
