Backport fever

Medical state (latin: Pyrexia Portum Redire), a serious condition one suffers from when finally completing a long-running programming task just to realise that said task also needs to be manually copy/pasted to all of the previous versions of the app (aka backporting), causing nausea, aching hands and a slight loss of one's soul.

Greg's in the hospital, got a bad case of backport fever! Doctors says it could be another couple of release cycles before he recovers fully.
