Another thing to note here -- knowing the LSN is important but also 
knowing that backup recovery was attempted (i.e. backup_label exists) is

It appears the tally for back patching is:

For: Andres, David, Michael B
Not Sure: Robert, Laurenz, Michael P

It seems at least nobody is dead set against it.
