It's the focus that changes, currently with Mandriva backports are a 
barely known unsupported afterthought.
With a light rolling release scheme backports would be supported with 
regards to security fixes, since backports would be the preferred way to 
provide security fixes.
It actually reduces workload since instead of the Mageia devs having to 
create themselves security patches for older releases, we just use the 
newer version of the sw from upstream that already includes the security 
patches.
