Comment (by leonardo.schenkel@…):

 The reason I originally suggested incorporating this patch was because
 it's a regression introduced in 2.2 (neither older nor newer versions of
 tmux have the bug), the fix is trivial, and if applied it removed a
 warning message when tmux is run in macOS 10.12. The warning was really
 from libevent, and that port has been fixed after I opened this ticket, so
 at least one of the justifications for integrating this patch has
 disappeared.

 Honestly if I were the maintainer I would still integrate this specific
 patch just to avoid the hard-to-diagnose glitches that you may encounter
 when events happen to be missed, but I have to concede that this just due
 to my own preference — I happen to prefer to run stable versions with a
 few backported patches here and there than running pre-release versions —
 and the bug was not considered important enough by upstream to justify a
 new patch release. I understand that you as the maintainer may be afraid
 of setting a precedent and wants to avoid having to make a value judgment
 for every future patch that is not yet incorporated into an official
 release. If you prefer not to add the patch, I certainly get your point
 and I won't object.
