Ideally, we'd rather see upstream release this fix but we've all read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14051106 and I don't want to be too impatient with software that upstream has graciously provided for free (in both senses of the word!)
I guess my point is backporting might make sense if there are small changes we can make to enhance release. However, I agree that there is too much duplication of effort going on.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=378854
which is fixed by https://cgit.kde.org/konversation.git/commit/?id=783dc0f595e...
but upstream for some reason does not think this is important enough to tag and bag into a release.
as much hate as Fedora gets, rdieter has taken the time to backport the changes that we need in Fedora.
