+The idea is, once the tools are appropriately adjusted, to tag the
+backport repos as update media, as in rpmdrake. But alternately we
+could get the update tools to automatically treat backport repos as
+update media for backports.
+The concept is that backports would be presented for update along with
+other updates. Backport updates would only replace backports, but
+backports could be replaced by regular updates, if the version is equal
+or higher.
