I guess I might have missed a big discussion in the past but backports got
kind of integrated through the backdoor. Now putting pressure on everyone to
comply and support a service which is only used by a small minority of
developers feels wrong. Please don't try to do this. Though I've to admit
that I fail aswell to come up with a decent technical solution.
