Thanks. I've put a patch up for review to clarify the policy. See https://reviews.llvm.org/D74538.

So while it doesn't explicitly say things about patches that only break those backends, I think reading the spirit of that policy says that it's the responsibility of the experimental backend's owners to fix the issue. You can still be nice and fix the issue yourself, but if you can't, that isn't grounds for anyone to revert the patch. > This is absolutely my understanding.
