Why do you think this is a "higher barrier"?  We don't make *any* changes
to code without consideration.  That is just generally accepted practice.
Changes that are user-facing do have higher barrier, and they do in
the ubuntu Stable Release Process as well.

You linked to an upstream ssh bug opened over 10 years ago, with the last
comment made over 5 years ago.  What do you consider "long-term" ?
Do you have some reason to believe that all of a sudden someone will change
that?  Would you expect that that user-facing change would then be SRU'd
in ubuntu ?
