+There's already a lot of requests for missing packages in Bugzilla,
+the question about filing such bug reports was answered long ago.
+
+&gt;<i> As I said in my original mail I really don't think backports is the
+</I>&gt;<i> right approach.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> I'd prefer to have a 3rd party repo than abuse backports to get the
+</I>&gt;<i> missing packages.
+</I>
+I thought we will try to avoid 3rd party repos?
+
+&gt;<i> I think updates would be the right place.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Perhaps we can make the submission process check to see if there already
+</I>&gt;<i> exists a package and if not, allow packagers to submit directly to
+</I>&gt;<i> core/updates? That way the first version of the package will make it to
+</I>&gt;<i> updates but subsequent changes will have to go via QA?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> While the &quot;oops I messed up the first version&quot; problem could happen, it
+</I>&gt;<i> would at least keep the burden on the packager for the majority of cases
+</I>&gt;<i> which is how we want it (from my understanding of the previous messages
+</I>&gt;<i> on this thread).
