Yeah I saw that in the docs as well, but I thought that since the
cherry-pick wouldn't succeed (due to the syn rewrite). However, I wrote
that 6.18.y and 6.19.y applying the patch would succeed, but that's also
not true, there we also don't have the syn rewrite...

The two Cc lines you gave seem like the correct thing :)

So when you pick them, change the Cc's to that (unless I need a new
version of course).
