I meant has been shrunk until now.
I will reword this for better clarity, maybe s/"has been shrunk"/"was set".

Maybe indirectly. But best would be to add the following line according to
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html

Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> # 4.14.x
Will add it. Cheers,
