Also you noted "backports". Speaking of "backports" - we have not decided yet the policy for this type of things.
Yes, backports is great, its what debian does right? And the we will tell people "oh, use $very_old_suse_in_here and just use the backports of $random_program, because its exactly the same as security updates, its great, its stable, very tested, it will be the best". Thats the lies debian people likes to tell. That backports are fantastic, backprots are the best thing in the world. They just dont tell when backports break everything and you are screwed, specially when you are using a backport in aproduction, which is what inexperient sysadmins that believes in the debian falacy will do. 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.
