I have to say though, that after having browsed through the Mdv2010.1
backports by hand, there is a lot, from a user point of view, that would
interest users. All of the sexy upgrades to software are there.
I think it would be nice to keep as long as it didn't cause major
problems with the installation. Maybe an option to "roll-back" a
software update would be something to consider for users?
