If theyʼre safe enough now, why didnʼt they go into emacs-27
initially?

Certainly all the ones that just change documentation should be ok.

My list would be

* 23b04ef0e7 Use length field when dns-query is using TCP
* 00f7744c1b Check for IPv6 servers in dns.el

But I donʼt think either of those fit the criterion of urgent (and
theyʼre not regressions).
