+<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Michael Scherer at 25/06/11 23:16 did gyre and gimble:
+&gt;&gt;<i> we
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> always say that backports should mainly be cherry picked, but not
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> enabled all the time... so how does installing a new version of e.g.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> wine break the user's system when he can easily back out that rpm?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I a not sure that most people realize they can revert. Maybe a easier
+</I>&gt;<i> interface to do that could be offered ( along maybe with a tool that
+</I>&gt;<i> send feedback on why it did downgrade it ? ).
+</I>
+I've seen various ppa-purge commands being dished out for custom PPAs on
+Ubuntu. It looks like quite a nice idea, but only really applies for
+individual use archives (e.g. help us test the development version of
+$foo), not a general purpose one like &quot;backports&quot;.
+
+That said, a GUI which detected that certain packages have come from
+backports and offers and easy mechanism to &quot;switch&quot; back to the older
+one from release or updates would, IMO, be a plus.
