+What constitutes the "core" ?
+

+toolchain be common between two different releases of Mandriva. However, it was 
+abandoned in order to have support for new hardware in the next release ....

+So it is impossible that a new xulrunner can break other apps? Or that a gimp 
+update requires newer libraries which could potentially require rebuilds of 
+many other apps (well, this is better than on Fedora, as we have a sane 
+library policy).

+
+As a package maintainer in Mandriva, one who has submitted a number of 
+packages to backports, I don't find much of a problem with the current Mandriva 
+setup.
+
+Please provide *real* problems with the Mandriva backports setup (besides "my 
+favourite app is not up-to-date in backports", unless you have filed a bug to 
+request it and there was no technical obstacle to it).
