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
this is no everyday update. If you're brave enough you can also try to do without
those safety measures, but then don't complain afterwards nobody warned you ...
