+I meant to raise this topic a few days ago, but got busy with
+other things.
+
+My understanding was that Magea 1 supported updating from Mandriva
+2010.2 + Contrib + PLF-Free.
+
+There were several updates submitted to qa a few days ago, that are
+only available in backports in Mdv 2010.2.
+
+If we start accepting those under the exceptions rule, that allows
+packages that were present in Mdv 2010.2 but missing in Mageia 1,
+I'm very concerned that we could run into a lot more bug 2317
+problems, which would be very difficult to avoid.
+
+Either we'll have to rewrite our dependency checking scripts to
+figure out which packages need to be linked from Core Release to
+Core Updates (not simple), or link everything in Core Release to
+Core Updates, or change Core Release to be tagged as an update
+medium, which would have a massive impact on cpu usage for mgaapplet.
+
+See https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4814
+for example.
+
+Opinions?
