+ok, i guess when people said, supported, i immediately assumed full support. 
+that kind of misled me.
+
+tested by QA, ok. but we still can't guarantee that it won't be installable 
+without error, or even that update might not be installable due to an 
+installed backport.
+
+In any case, not something i'll recommend to people, and as such, i don't 
+think there's a need for mgaapplet to handle backport functionality either.
