Was this merged back into facebook/create-react-app?

I'm reading facebook#1333
and therefore I found https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/pull/3741/commits
which says that the changes in this repo were pulled into facebook:next.

What is facebook:next (I don't see it anywhere)?

Were your changes ever merged into a release branch of the facebook repo (for example facebook@bf2d814 which include your changes to paths.js)?

I don't see your changes in the current master branch of the facebook repo.

If they're not included, do you know why not (where/when/why was the decision made not to include them)?

I see the change was reverted here -- facebook@50b4857

And the explanation for that change seems to be here -- facebook#5024
