UI wise, I think it would make sense to have that ( even if a idea is
not sufficient, and we need a patch ) :
User search for a package, he should see the latest recommended version
( ie, release/updates ).
If he say "also provides newer versions", then we could show backports,
with some indication that we provides a tested version, and a
potentially newer ones.
We can agree that everybody want something newer for some rpms, but few
people want everything to be newer ( ie, now one run backports as a
update media, I think ). So as much as I am against asking to users
questions, we must show them the choice somewhere, in a non obstrusive
way.
And for testing integration, I think we could have a different workflow,
maybe something linked to a bug reporting tool. I have a bug on kde and
use some custom bug reporting tool, the tools notice that something
could be tested, and say to the user "we have a update candidate, do you
want to test ? If unsure, say no" ?
