I think it's only a problem for you in 9.6-only because you've not tried
pglogical or some other large-shlib extension with earlier branches; in
other words, eventually this is going to bite somebody using the old
branches as well, unless we believe that the platforms are dead enough
that nobody really cares other than for academic purposes.

My vote would be to backpatch it all the way.
