Backports are not tested, they are just built, and hopefuly it
compiles. Its not the same thing as a system with security patches.
Backports are unmaintained, untested, they work by pure luck.

Yes, I have the same impression, and if this "contrib" repo, is going to
become a "backports" repo, Im out ;P

Well, I also think that there are more disadvantages than advantages
in doing backports. (it reduces concentration)
