</I>><i>
</I>><i> Nothing major just little things like trac and supybot etc.

</I>
If we do not want to have people use backports, we wouldn't have added
it in the first place.
I do think backport is perfectly suited for that.

</I>><i> The only real option is updates, but that should obviously have some QA

</I>
Updates is not for new version of software, not for new softwares. And
backporting something from cauldron is not a update.

</I>><i>
</I>><i> Does anyone have any opinions on this?
</I>
Yes, I do.
We have used backports in the past for that, and I see no reason to
change that.
If the problem is that backports were too buggy in the past, then we
should fix backports process, not bypassing them.
And if we start by pushing new version in update, people will soon
wonder why the new version of X is in updates, while the new version of
Y is not, just because we didn't have X in release and Y was there.
