I don't think that's the case but has been for quite a while now since a
number of 1.2 patches were "rejected" as being 1.2 and in fact there was
some explicit email on whether this was to be done or not and the answer
was a resounding NO. I can dig out the emails if this is really needed.

There were a number of fixes originally supplied for 1.2 up ported to
1.3. Guess you could always consider them non critical although I would
beg to differ on some of those.
