As part of our dependency maintenance rules (like
automated dependency updaters for security reasons),
the general rule is "don't backport individual V8 patches".
Increasing floating patches on the
deps/v8further delay the pendingV8 upgrade and increase the cost to land the upgrade in time.
The backport should only be applied to certain categories of patches,
like fixing builds, V8 API usages, security issues.
I intentionally make this rule strict as proposed in #66393.
I believe this makes the criteria more clearer in a first instinct,
without too many mental cost on determine if we should backport or not.
