+Huh? From what i remember the only difference between backports
+and updates should be that backports are mostly new versions,
+new features, but the QA should be the same. If that's not the case,
+seems my memory from the last few meetings played tricks on me.
+
+If the only QA test for backports shall be: try if it installs and
+opens up without problems, then we should discuss this again.

+Are you sure each one who would use backports would see this
+the same way as you? IMHO they'll be: Cool, a new version, must install ...

+That was specifically meant for you, not for everyday updates, also
