+</I>I can't see very well the leaf story... I mean any packages
+require something at least to build. Scripts need interpreters, so
+i'd expect interpreters cannot be backported, but we can find a
+script based package (using perl, ruby or python...) needing some other
+script based one, the same could happen for programs. Now what can
+we backport there?
+A and B are leaves (?) but B uses A so i can revert A for a problem,
+now are we sure A on stable works with B on backports?
+
+Morever we could not backport new major libraries, they would not conflicts
+with stable though, but sure they could affect some packages built in backports
+after that should not work without new major.....
+
+I'm confused :/
+
+IMO we should improve the QA (or what else) and testing to allow a safe
+installation and proving that will be upgraded to the next mageia release,
+then if we call it backports, upgrades, updates or... that's
+another and maybe less important thing.
