You're inversing the roles :-)
You cannot knowly break things just b/c of one need (which btw was
managed back @mdv).
You're trading one infrastruture enhancement for:
- several new usability issues:
o more memory
o slower to compute updates
- breaking people installation by blindly installing all backports along updates
if they're ever enabled.
