My impression is that more people use the Emacs 28 branch than the 27
branch, so for low-level changes like this, I think it's often
preferable to apply them to Emacs 28 and then cherry-pick them for Emacs
27 after a week or so (if no problems have been seen).

But you're the domain expert here, so if you think this change is safe
enough for Emacs 27, then go ahead and do it there directly.
