We could make one on the same model as http://www.debian.org/volatile/
(BTW I wonder if this shold be ranged under a specific section, like
distrib)
Can someone draft a page from the current backports.org content ?
About backports mirrors, that may be similar to what we have on
http://teubr.eu.org/~spaillar/debian/webwml/english/mirror/backports.en.html
Indeed, http://www.backports.org/debian/README.mirrors.html is
deprecated, info is now stored by standard Mirrors.masterlist.
