Maybe backports are funny for a user with more experience than a regular one, but if we are trying to maintain a user friendly distro, We must improve in the things that they really ask us.
One of the regular questions I received when install a linux distro is: "But I really need to upgrade all my OS, if I only want the new version of my Office Suite?"
Let me remind you, The privative OS don't have this model, in them the users can install a new version of their favourite software as they want (or pay it). This is true at least as a Mayor upgrade at the OS, and in some cases the compatibility are maintained.
I understand that it could be a technical problem, for that reason I proposed packages developed by other's different than gnome and kde.
Send me a light in my ignorance, could you install any new version of OOO downloading the packages directly from de OOO site without meaning the distro version (except of course when occurs a mayor upgrade at their main pieces, kernel by example)?
