In the upgrade from Mandriva 2010.2 to Mageia 1, it was made clear, that
upgrading from a system with 2010.2 Backports was not supported. It may
work, but was not recommended.
I think we should keep the same policy for the upgrade from Mageia 1 to 2.
I.E. Don't use backports if you are planning on later doing an upgrade,
rather then a clean install.
That way, Mageia 1 users who want firefox 13 can get it, without us having
to replace the Mageia 2 iso images with an upgraded installer, that will
keep backports enabled for 2, if it was enabled for 1.
