If it doesn't actually do any harm on 14.2, you might as well include
it. You're going to have to (or somebody's going to have to) when 15.0
is released, might as well get ahead now.

Not saying you should go actively looking for compile issues on -current,
but if someone hands me a patch like that I apply it to save myself
future work...
