Well, when the backport was made without asking to developers first ( as
it happened with gwibber back at mandriva ), yes, the only thing I can
say is "I do not support it, because I didn't do it, nor was able to
test it correctly'.
If we tell "we do not have the ressources to fully test a backport, so
let's not do it", people are unhappy.
If we say "ok, here it is, but we didn't test, you are on your own",
people are unhappy.
As said by sinnerBOFH, if people want better backports, this requires
more ressources, there is no magic.
