I believe you are both right:
* backports are for power users
* Mandriva/Mageia are power users [*]
[*] 1. they chose Linux. 2. They chose a "Not Ubuntu" distro
So, what about?
1. Changing name of backports to something more dscriptive
2. Making backports part of official repos
3. NOT activating backports repo by default.
Salut,
