Resolving the backports situation would however provide a means for users who 
want to track upstream (for various reasons, such as being able to get support 
from upstreams who don't really want to support 'historic' releases) without:
1)Forcing all users to get the update
2)Requiring excessive QA work
3)Requiring bug reports for each update
