Not at all. 21.4 is to be promoted as stable "soon". These are
definitely bugs that should be fixed, whether they would go directly
into 21.4 or not is a question of how invasive they need to be. I
would think they generally just involve wrapping a couple lines of
code in (when window-system ...); this should not be a problem.
Whether you work with 21.4 or 21.5, make sure that the patch is
labelled RECOMMENDed for the other line.
