</I>&gt;<i> This seems hard to enforce... i can imagine if you make backport, it has

</I>&gt;<i> newer than the one in cauldron
</I>
Youri has a module for that ( recency I think ), and we used this in
PLF.

And if there is changes that would make sense just for backport, one can
play with release tag to be older, or can just rebuild in cauldron to be
newer before backporting.
