I don't get it why people think a re-install is necessary.
My current computer was installed with mandriva 2007 (don't remember if it
was .0 or .1), it is now mageia 1 and has been updated to all intermediary
mdv releases.
Another was not actually installed, an older was installed with mandrake 8.2
(yes, that is as old as 2002), was updated to each subsequent release, was
copied on a new computer (create partitions, copy, reinstall grub in MBR,
check graphic driver, and it worked), it is now running mandriva 2010.2
(mageia to come) without being reinstalled since.

If I understood correctly, that is exactly what the backports should
provide, new versions of programs when possible (no update of half of the
core system libraries).
