+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> I guess because of Mandriva policy. We did provide backports but it was
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> explicitely said to be unsupported. &quot;Use it at your own risks&quot;
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> We may have to rewrite this and make things clear
+</I>
+Right. Define a (somewhat lower) level of support -- but enough to assure most users that
+backports can be reliable.
+Mandriva was defining _corporate_ support, which doesn't apply in a community volonteer-based distro.
+
+&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Do you mean, just telling people that it is no risk or do you mean a
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> change which lessens the risk?
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> not at all
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> As Michael wrote earlier in this thread, if there was the risk to
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> break the system by low quality of backports then the quality has to
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> be improved (not his own words but that's how I understood it).
+</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> exactly what I had in mind. Having backports can allow choice between
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &quot;the last version of&quot; and &quot;the stable version with which I'm happy
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> with&quot;. But indeed we need more quality in backport rpms that is policy and
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> tests.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Few words could make me more happy about the potential future status of our
+</I>&gt;<i> backports. And if backports have a bad reputation among our users, maybe we
+</I>&gt;<i> should rename updates to &quot;maintenance updates&quot; and backports to &quot;feature
+</I>&gt;<i> updates&quot; ?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Samuel
+</I>
+Not a bad idea -- even if only as a subtitle :)
