+Well, don't dream, backport packagers won't do more testing without QA 
+bugging them. And tests cannot be done by packagers, because they always 
+have a particular system, where bugs may not arise.
+
+I feel we must face the fact our policies are nothing without manpower. 
+If #2317 is a major bug, it must be fixed quickly. The fact we didn't 
+fix it in more than a year makes me wonder how we drive ourselves : 
+maybe QA should strike until it is fixed ;-)
+
+I vote for Mrs.B workaround :
+
+Two people have tested simply enabling Release media as update media and 
+not really noticed any drop in performance. I don't know what the 
+implications are for memory footprint though. It could be one simple 
+solution though perhaps, to enable them as updates by default, if the 
+complexity of others if prohibitive.
