Since this affects only the macOS builds, if you consider these
changes safe enough for the release branch, I don't object to
installing this there.  But please take into account that there are
several other issues with that old version, and the changes proposed
for them would affect platforms other than macOS, and some of them are
on very low level, and so cannot be installed on the release branch at
this time.  Which means that a build of Emacs 28 on those old macOS
platforms will probably not work without manual patching anyway.

I agree.  We do the same for other old platforms.
