Personally, I would prefer that we first refine the policy and then act
rather than the contrary :)

And so, if we provides newer version of tools, what is wrong with using
backports for that ?

I am not keen on pushing our newer tool on update, since we plan to have
our server using mageia, and so in the futur, if we push newer iurt,
mgarepo, rpmlint, they may potentially disrupt build system. So by being
clear and using backports, we would avoid such problem more easily.
