Right. Define a (somewhat lower) level of support -- but enough to assure most users that
backports can be reliable.
Mandriva was defining _corporate_ support, which doesn't apply in a community volonteer-based distro.
>>><i> Do you mean, just telling people that it is no risk or do you mean a
</I>>>><i> change which lessens the risk?
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> not at all
</I>>><i>
</I>>>><i> As Michael wrote earlier in this thread, if there was the risk to
</I>>>><i> break the system by low quality of backports then the quality has to
</I>>>><i> be improved (not his own words but that's how I understood it).
</I>>>><i>
</I>>><i> exactly what I had in mind. Having backports can allow choice between
</I>>><i> "the last version of" and "the stable version with which I'm happy
</I>>><i> with". But indeed we need more quality in backport rpms that is policy and
</I>>><i> tests.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Few words could make me more happy about the potential future status of our
</I>><i> backports. And if backports have a bad reputation among our users, maybe we
</I>><i> should rename updates to "maintenance updates" and backports to "feature
</I>><i> updates" ?

Not a bad idea -- even if only as a subtitle :)
