+<PRE>A short reality check from userside:
+
+If foo-1.0 is in Mageia 1 and foo-1.1 is released upstream
+ - foo-1.1 will likely be integrated in Cauldron very soon after
+ - users will request to have foo-1.1 in Mageia 1
+ - if Mageia will not provide it then there will soon be local
+repositories where local packagers will do a &quot;backport&quot; for their
+friends.
+
+This may not be what Mageia backport policy will allow but we can not
+avoid people doing and using this, no matter how many warning signs we
+will publish. This has to be taken into account here.
+
+When a policy is found it has to be communicated very well, especially
+if that policy means that the user can not have foo-1.1 in his stable
+Mageia 1.
+
+This is important because former Mandriva users were used to get
+almost all new versions backported, if not officially then in 3rd
+party repos like MIB or MUD.
