If the readline patch in question is upstream already,
I wouldn't object backporting it to our readline copy.

The problem with rebasing our readline copy is simply that it
requires someone motivated to spend the effort to do it.
Patrick Palka tried to import readline 7 a while ago, and the import
made it to master even, but then a few problems were discovered
and the patch was reverted:

There was no movement after that.

Thanks,
