The commit message documents that the bug fix is a small part of the 
changes made. Others include altering the fundamental AsyncJob API 
behaviour - affecting every feature in Squid at their most fundamental 
levels. That amount of change is not going into a "stable" release of Squid.

I will consider patches for just the bug 5055 issue though.
