Yes, this patch is also marked for the next Tramp release on GNU
ELPA. This will be Tramp 2.6.0.3, roughly scheduled for end of March.

FTR, the regression tests have shown problems with older Emacsen, Emacs
26 and 27, to say. So I need to fix this somehow, before the regression
tests will continue.

To tell the truth, the regression tests use the upcoming 2.6.0.3
version. Once everything is OK, it will be merged into the Emacs master
branch.

I'm not Stefan, but perhaps I could clarify. The Tramp version released
on GNU ELPA doesn't correspond to the Tramp in Emacs master. This is
mainly because I want to release a stable version on GNU ELPA. People
with a need for the bleeding edge Tramp can always use Emacs master, or
pull Tramp from its own repository on savannah.

Best regards, Michael.
