There is at least one bigger backports repository. And I'm not using
Adrians backports. But that's both not the point.

Unfortunately Adrian didn't wrote why he thinks backports aren't
usable for production systems. The only real problem with backports I
see is that there are no guaranted security updates.
This could be a reason for someone to not using backports. For me it's
not, I'm using my own backports.
